When I got back from my last dive trip, I brought my regs to my LDS to have them checked and serviced.
At this time, I told the technician that on one of the dives I did not feel well ( I aborted this dive after only 5 minutes ) and I seemed to having difficulties breathing !!
When I went back to pick-up my regs, the tech showed me the Q-Tips he used to clean my regs and the 1st stage .... There was rust debris in the 1st stage filter, all the way to my reg . This is what I was breathing
He replaced all the o'rings in my 1st stage, reg and octo because they were so dirty !!
I asked the tech who serviced my regs if there was on the market an air quality analyzer like a Nitrox analyzer, and he told me that there is no analyzer of that sort on the market.
My question is : How do you ( on the spot ) check air quality of a dive center ?
