I'm not sure if you saw it but I just came across this:

Googling similar, there are plenty of articles on doing the same thing
with an esp32, though at least one has a debate about the value of what
some sensors report such as this project here:

Apparently eTVOC and eCO2 aren't that useful. There are plenty of other
sensors and projects though out there though.
