Applications of PS5308-m/b Laser Dust Sensors to Air Quality Detection

Jun 02, 2022

Air pollution is everywhere. No matter where you live, you can't escape it, and the pollutant that affects people the most is particulate matter. We all know that atmospheric particulate matter is a general term for all kinds of solid and liquid particulate matter in the atmosphere, often abbreviated as PM and used as a measure of air pollution.

According to the diameter, atmospheric particulate matter can be divided into three types:
Total Suspended Particulate Matter with a diameter less than 100 microns (TSP)
Particulate matter with a diameter less than 10 microns (PM10)
Fine particulate matter less than 2.5 microns in diameter (PM2.5)

On September 22, 2021, the World Health Organization (WHO) issued global Air Quality Guidelines (AQG2021). In terms of the guideline value, AQG 2021 version tights the annual mean value of PM2.5 and PM10, setting the annual mean value of PM2.5 to 5μg/m³ and the annual mean value of PM10 to 15μg/ m3.

Accurate detection of PM2.5 is becoming more and more important based on this. Laser dust sensors using laser LED as light source, when the fine particulate matter in the air after a constant flow fan drive into the area, the laser beam laser scattering will occur; the photoelectric detector is placed in a proper place, and we receive only scattered light. Then, through the photoelectric detector generated signals of the photoelectric effect, after amplification circuit treatment, the fine particle density can be obtained.

PULSE-Sensor PS5308-M/B is a general-purpose and miniaturized laser dust sensor module that can detect dust particles in the air based on the principle of laser scattering through professional algorithms and calibration detection processes.
