Lutron Air Quality Monitor

Monitoring air pollutant source from dust, petrochemical industry, steel-making plant, thermal power plant, restaurant, smoke, burning plants, driving automobiles. The meter is a real-time air quality monitor instrument used to monitor the concentration of PM2.5, humidity and temperature in the indoor environment. What is PM? PM is short for “particulate matter”. It refers to particles found in the air, including dust, dirt, soot, smoke, and liquid droplets. Particles can be suspended in the air for long periods of time. Many man-made and natural sources emit PM directly or emit other pollutants that react in the atmosphere to form PM. These solid and liquid particles come in a wide range of sizes. Some particles are large or dark enough to be seen – like soot or smoke. Others are so small that individually, they can only be detected with an electron microscope. What is the difference between PM2.5 amp; PM10? PM10 refers to particles with diameters that are less than or equal to 10 microns in size (a micron, or micrometer, is one-millionth of a meter), or about 1/7 the diameter of a human hair. PM2.5, also called “fine particulates,” consists of particles with diameters that are less than or equal to 2.5 microns in size. That’s about 1/30 the diameter of a human hair. PM2.5 is a more serious health concern than PM10, since smaller particles can travel more deeply into our lungs and affect your health.
