I believe there are multiple types of air quality sensors.
CO2 For CO2 the level ranges between 0 (actually, 400 is the minimum you will ever get) and 5000. Some versions range between 0 and 2000.
DUST Fine dust sensors measure dust in ug/m3 (microgram per meter squared), and range between 0.0 and 1000. They usually measure multiple 'buckets', such as particles with diameters of 1nm and 2.5nm and 10nm.

CO Carbon monoxide is measure in particles per million (ppm), ranging from 0 till 1500.
Often sensors will also output a text that translates the level into a human readable value. For example "safe" or "good". My devices do this for all air quality sensor types.
Here are some acceptable levels for carbon monoxide: http://www.carbonmonoxidekills.com/are-you-at-risk/carbon-monoxide-levels/
Other gasses
Nitrogen dioxide NO2 0.05 – 10ppm Ethanol C2H5OH 10 – 500ppm Hydrogen H2 1 – 1000ppm Ammonia NH3 1 – 500ppm Methane CH4 >1000ppm Propane C3H8 >1000ppm Iso-butane C4H10 >1000ppm
volatile organic compounds are also popular to measure. These are, for example, released from paint and plastic.
I tested it. I think something is wrong.
What pops up is (another) humidity sensor. But in the Mozilla Gateway interface it only has an on-off switch bubble attached to it, and not a sensor value bubble.
Perhaps the issue is that this device was added earlier, but only now it's delivering data?
Here's the complete 8888 json:

Interesting, in the wot api it shows that the sensor is multi level. So ideally it should have values associated.

Is it still happening? Or can it be closed?
I think this was part of the other issue where the things had 'shifted'.
@flatsiedatsie I have pushed the support for AirQuality sensor. Could you take a pull and test again and update if it works.
