Understanding Particulate Matter (PM)

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

Learn about different PM sizes

  • PM1

    Ultrafine particles with a diameter of 1 micrometre or smaller. They can penetrate the bloodstream directly, posing systemic health risks.

  • PM2.5

    Fine particles smaller than 2.5 micrometres. These are small enough to reach deep into the lungs, leading to potential chronic health conditions.

  • PM10

    Inhalable particles with a diameter of 10 micrometres or smaller, including dust and pollen. They can cause respiratory irritation and allergic reactions.

  • Particle Count

    This metric measures the total number of particles in the air, providing a comprehensive assessment of overall air quality regardless of specific particle size.

Pollution Sources:

  • Vehicle exhaust as a source of PM pollutionVehicle Emissions
  • Industrial activity as a source of PM pollutionIndustrial Emissions
  • Construction dust as a source of PM pollutionConstruction Sites
  • Smoke and wildfires as sources of PM pollutionWildfires
  • Dusty unpaved roads as sources of PM pollutionRoad Dust

Accuracy Validation: Prana Air vs. BAM

Comparison of Prana Air sensor data with BAM reference monitor

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

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