Will the high humidity over time degrade the device?
We typically don't expect the humidity level itself to damage the sensor, but what should be avoided are condensation from forming inside/outside of the sensor's package, as well as any potential liquids/particulates from reaching the sensor (e.g. using a protective membrane). Note that we expect that you run your own qualification tests to validate your use-case.

Will the gas and VOC and IAQ readings still be accurate in this use case.
The gas sensor's outputs will still be accurate, but you will need to design your HW (e.g. are you looking for VOCs from the mouth itself, from the surrounding environment, ...) as well as consider the appropriate BSEC outputs (e.g. IAQ, sIAQ, a customized one, ...) based on your specific use-case requirements. For instance we could expect higher VOC concentrations near a user's mouth than in the surrounding environment, so based on the design this could be observed in the output.
