Pollutant Size Comparison

Comparison of particulate matter with a human hair

Particulate Matter (PM) is a combination of solid particles and liquid droplets suspended in the air. Due to their minute size, these pollutants can be inhaled and impact long-term health.

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 assessment.

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.

  • 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 Activity
  • Smoke and wildfires as sources of PM pollutionWildfires

Accuracy Validation: Prana Air vs. BAM

Comparison of Prana Air sensor data with BAM reference monitor

In a comprehensive 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.

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.

comparison of PM sensor data between Aeroqual and Prana Air before and after calibration

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 engineered for the precise monitoring of PM1, PM2.5, and PM10 in outdoor and industrial settings. It utilises the 90° light scattering method for real-time accuracy.

Our sensor measures particulate matter from 0 to 31,000 µg/m³, making it suitable for ambient air quality monitoring in cities as well as high-pollution industrial 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 by international technical bodies has confirmed its high level of accuracy and correlation with industry standards.

Our sensors are used 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 worldwide, 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.
