Understanding Particulate Matter (PM)

Particulate Matter (PM) is classified by its diameter, with PM2.5 (fine particles) and PM10 (coarse particles) being the primary indicators for air quality monitoring.

Learn about different PM sizes

  • PM1

    Particles with a diameter of 1 micrometre or smaller. They can enter the bloodstream directly, potentially leading to systemic health complications.

  • PM2.5

    Fine particles smaller than 2.5 micrometres. Their small size allows them to reach deep into the lungs, causing long-term respiratory issues.

  • PM10

    Particles smaller than 10 micrometres, such as dust and pollen. They are typically filtered in the upper respiratory tract but can cause allergies.

  • Particle Count

    This metric tracks the total concentration of particles in the air, providing a broader view of overall air quality regardless of specific particle size.

Pollution Sources:

  • Vehicle exhaust as a source of PM pollutionVehicle Emissions
  • Industrial emissions as a source of PM pollutionIndustrial Discharge
  • Construction sites as a source of PM pollutionConstruction Activities
  • Wildfires and smoke as sources of PM pollutionWildfires
  • Unpaved and dusty roads as sources of PM pollutionRoad Dust

Accuracy Comparison: Prana Air vs. BAM

Comparison of Prana Air sensor accuracy with BAM reference system

In a comprehensive validation study, Prana Air's PM sensor was benchmarked against the high-end Beta Attenuation Monitoring (BAM) system.

The results showed a high degree of correlation, confirming that our sensor achieves near reference-grade performance.

Our Sensors Case Studies

Case Study By IIIT Hyderabad

Comparative Evaluation of New Low-Cost Particulate Matter Sensors

Study Brief : So, the paper involves our Prana Air device alongside other low-cost sensors for PM2.5 and PM10 measurements. For the results, they compared them to the standard Aeroqual Series-500. Since, their challenge with traditional devices was the high cost, heaviness, and frequent service needs, which limited usin in cities.

Note : Monitors update in every 30 seconds, moreover our PM sensors have a resolution of ±1.0 micrograms per cubic meter, and our NO2 sensors boast a resolution of ±1.0 ppb.

Case Study By NEERI (CSIR)

Performance‐based protocol for selection of Affordable and easy to carry sensor for air quality measurement

Study Brief : In their research, they used our device in their Environmental Protection Sensors (EPS) assessment. So in this, they compared factory calibration data with reference monitors. Because, their challenge was reasonable cost with accuracy, sensitivity, and data management. In the result, Prana Air proved to be a reliable and affordable choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Prana Air PM Sensor is a digital laser-based device designed for the accurate monitoring of PM1, PM2.5, and PM10 levels in outdoor and industrial environments. It uses advanced 90° light scattering for real-time precision.

Our sensor measures particulate matter from 0 to 31,000 µg/m³, making it suitable for ambient air quality monitoring as well as heavily polluted industrial or construction environments.

The sensor can detect particles as small as 0.3 micrometres (µm). This is critical for monitoring fine pollutants that can penetrate deep into the lungs and bloodstream.

The sensor has been validated against global reference-grade monitors, including Beta Attenuation Monitoring (BAM) and TSI DustTrak systems. Independent research from international technical bodies has confirmed its high level of accuracy and correlation with industry standards.

Our technology is trusted by leading global organisations across the research, healthcare, and industrial sectors, including the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and numerous international universities and environmental agencies.

The sensor is currently deployed at over 2,000 construction and industrial sites globally, demonstrating its reliability and performance in demanding field conditions.

Key features include a dust-proof duct to prevent clogging, a moisture-resistant circuit board, and a closed-loop fan system for stable airflow. It operates reliably in temperatures ranging from -20°C to +70°C.

The sensor connects to a monitoring hub that transmits data via Wi-Fi, GSM, or RS-485 to the cloud. Real-time data can be accessed through mobile apps or web-based dashboards.

Yes, Prana Air also offers specialised indoor PM sensors for schools, homes, and offices. These are highly sensitive to subtle air quality changes and are designed for continuous indoor use.
