The dual channel PM2.5 sensor measures fine particle concentrations for an effective air quality improvement strategy.
Air pollution is a serious threat to human health. PM2.5, also known as fine particles, can cause various health issues and is known to decrease life expectancy. The PM2.5 concentration in the air is therefore an important indicator of air quality and measuring fine particles provides insight to improve air quality.
The system's precise measurements allow a real-time comparison of the level of fine particles in the exterior and interior air. This information is used to implement a strategy to control the HVAC system and improve the air quality inside, for instance in a building. The performance of the air filtering system, as well as the interior and exterior air quality can be shown on a display.
