Particle Size Comparison

Comparison of PM particles with a human hair

Particulate Matter (PM) consists of solid particles and liquid droplets suspended in the atmosphere. Due to their small size, these particles can be inhaled and affect long-term health.

Understanding Particulate Matter (PM)

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

Learn about different PM sizes

  • PM1

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

  • PM2.5

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

  • PM10

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

  • Particle Count

    This represent the total concentration of particles in the air, providing a comprehensive view of overall air quality regardless of individual particle sizes.

Pollution Sources:

  • Vehicle exhaust as a source of PM pollutionVehicle Emissions
  • Industrial plants as a source of PM pollutionIndustrial Emissions
  • Construction activity as a source of PM pollutionConstruction Sites
  • Wildfires and smoke 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 accuracy with BAM reference system

In a detailed 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.
