  • Differences Between Laser and Infrared Principles in PM2.5 Sensors
    Dec 30, 2024

    Particulate Matter (PM), often referred to as fine dust, is a serious environmental and health concern. Among these particles, PM2.5 stands out as particularly hazardous due to its small size, allowing it to penetrate deep into the lungs and even enter the bloodstream. The smaller the particle, the more toxic and harmful substances it can carry, making it a significant contributor to air pollution, respiratory illnesses, and even cardiovascular diseases. Additionally, PM2.5 particles have the ability...

  • How Does a TVOC Sensor Actually Work?
    Dec 27, 2024

    Total Volatile Organic Compounds (TVOCs) are a group of diverse organic chemicals commonly found in both indoor and outdoor environments. These compounds easily vaporize at room temperature, becoming part of the air we breathe. TVOCs encompass both harmful and harmless substances that can significantly impact indoor air quality. In fact, there may be as many as 10,000 distinct volatile organic compounds in existence. Some of these compounds, such as formaldehyde and benzene, can negatively affect...

  • Indoor Dust Sensor: Enhancing Air Quality Monitoring with Laser Scattering Technology
    Dec 23, 2024

    Indoor air quality has become a significant concern worldwide, as more people spend an increasing amount of time indoors. Whether at home, in offices, schools, or public spaces, the presence of airborne pollutants, including dust particles, can negatively impact health and comfort. In response to this growing need, Indoor Dust Sensors equipped with advanced laser scattering technology have emerged as powerful tools for monitoring and improving air quality. What is an Indoor Dust Sensor? An Indoor...

As pollution levels rise, air quality sensors have become an essential tool for monitoring and improving the environment we live in. These sensors are deployed to detect harmful pollutants in the air and provide valuable data to ensure our health and safety. But how exactly do these sensors work, and what technologies do they employ to measure air quality? In this article, we will explore the functioning of air...

  • Off-Gassing in Your New Home: What You Need to Know
    Dec 17, 2024

    Introduction When you move into a newly built or renovated home, it’s common to notice new smells. Some of these odors may be from fresh paint, new carpets, or even newly installed furniture. While these smells can be exciting, they may also be a sign of something more concerning: off-gassing. Understanding off-gassing is crucial for maintaining healthy indoor air quality and ensuring that your living environment is safe and comfortable.   What is Off-Gassing? Off-gassing refers to the...

  • Intelligent PM2.5 Detector Using Laser Dust Sensors
    Dec 16, 2024

    Abstract: As industrialization progresses, the expansion of heavy-pollution industries such as petroleum, chemicals, power generation, and metallurgy continues. Concurrently, sewage treatment facilities have not met regulatory standards, contributing to worsening air pollution. Traditional PM2.5 detectors are typically bulky, difficult to transport, and less practical. They also have limitations, including high costs, limited real-time performance, and low detection accuracy. This paper proposes...

  • Is Your Air Quality Monitor Trustworthy? Understanding the Importance of Testing Indoor Air Quality
    Dec 13, 2024

    Air quality is often something we take for granted, but it plays a crucial role in our overall health and well-being. Many people don't realize that the air inside their homes can be up to five times more polluted than the air outside, especially in modern homes that are tightly sealed and lack proper ventilation. This means that indoor air quality can have a significant impact on your health, even if you can't see or smell the pollutants. From dust and mold to chemicals like volatile organic...

  • CO2 Sensor Calibration: Ensuring Accuracy and Longevity
