Particle Size Comparison

Comparison of PM particles with a human hair

Particulate Matter (PM) is made up of tiny solid particles and liquid droplets that float in the air. We can breathe these pollutants in, and they can harm long-term health.

A Guide to Particulate Matter (PM)

Particulate Matter (PM) is grouped by its diameter, with PM2.5 (fine particles) and PM10 (coarse particles) being the main markers used to track air quality.

Learn about different PM sizes

  • PM1

    Particles with a diameter of 1 micrometer or smaller. They can pass straight into the bloodstream, which may lead to health problems across the body.

  • PM2.5

    Fine particles smaller than 2.5 micrometers. Their small size lets them reach deep into the lungs, which can cause long-term breathing problems.

  • PM10

    Particles smaller than 10 micrometers, such as dust and pollen. The nose and throat usually filter them out, but they can still cause allergies.

  • Particle Count

    This metric tracks the total concentration of particles in the air, whatever their size. It gives you a broader view of the overall air quality.

Pollution Sources:

  • Vehicle exhaust as a source of PM pollutionVehicle Emissions
  • Industrial emissions as a source of PM pollutionIndustrial Discharge
  • Construction sites as a source of PM pollutionConstruction Activities
  • Wildfires and smoke as sources of PM pollutionWildfires
  • Unpaved and dusty roads as sources of PM pollutionRoad Dust

Accuracy Test: Prana Air Sensor vs. BAM

Comparison of Prana Air sensor accuracy with BAM reference system

A full validation study was carried out. In it, the Prana Air PM sensor was tested against the high-end Beta Attenuation Monitoring (BAM) system.

The results showed a strong correlation, which confirms that our sensor performs at close to reference grade.

Our Sensors Case Studies

Case Study By IIIT Hyderabad

Comparative Evaluation of New Low-Cost Particulate Matter Sensors

Study Brief : The paper tested our Prana Air device alongside other low-cost sensors for PM2.5 and PM10 readings. The team compared the results with the standard Aeroqual Series-500. Their problem with traditional devices was the high cost, the weight, and the frequent need for service, which limited their use in cities.

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

Note : The monitors update every 30 seconds. Our PM sensors have a resolution of ±1.0 micrograms per cubic meter, and our NO2 sensors have 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 this research, the team used our device in their Environmental Protection Sensors (EPS) assessment. They compared the factory calibration data with reference monitors. Their challenge was to find a sensor that was cheap enough but still accurate, sensitive, and good at handling data. In the end, Prana Air proved to be a reliable and low-cost choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Prana Air PM Sensor is a digital, laser-based device. It is built to track PM1, PM2.5, and PM10 levels with accuracy at outdoor and industrial sites. It uses advanced 90° light scattering to give you precise data in real time.

Our sensor measures particulate matter from 0 to 31,000 µg/m³. That makes it a good fit for ambient air quality checks, and also for very polluted industrial or construction sites.

The sensor can detect particles as small as 0.3 micrometers (µm). This matters for tracking fine pollutants that can get deep into the lungs and the bloodstream.

The sensor has been checked against global reference-grade monitors, such as Beta Attenuation Monitoring (BAM) and TSI DustTrak systems. Independent research by technical bodies around the world backs this up. It shows the sensor is highly accurate and a close match for industry standards.

Top groups around the world in research, healthcare, and industry trust our sensors. They include the Boston Consulting Group (BCG), as well as many universities and environmental agencies across the globe.

The sensor is now in use at over 2,000 construction and industrial sites worldwide, which shows how reliable it is and how well it performs in tough field conditions.

Key features include a dust-proof duct that stops clogging, a moisture-resistant circuit board, and a closed-loop fan system for stable airflow. It works well in temperatures from -20°C to +70°C.

The sensor connects to a monitoring hub, which sends the data to the cloud via Wi-Fi, GSM, or RS-485. You can view the real-time data in mobile apps or on web dashboards.

Yes. Prana Air also makes indoor PM sensors for schools, homes, and offices. These pick up even small changes in air quality, and they are designed for non-stop indoor use.
