Particle Size Comparison

Comparison of PM particles with a human hair

Particulate Matter (PM) is made up of solid particles and liquid droplets that float in the air. Because they are so small, we can breathe these particles 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 markers used most often to track air quality.

Learn about different PM sizes

  • PM1

    Ultrafine particles with a diameter of 1 micrometre or smaller. They can pass straight into the bloodstream, which may lead to health risks across the body.

  • PM2.5

    Fine particles smaller than 2.5 micrometres. Their small size lets them reach deep into the lungs, where they can cause long-term damage to the airways.

  • PM10

    Particles you can inhale that are smaller than 10 micrometres, such as dust and pollen. The nose and throat usually trap them, but they can cause allergies.

  • Particle Count

    This shows the total concentration of particles in the air, whatever their size. It gives you a full picture of the overall air quality in one number.

Pollution Sources:

  • Vehicle exhaust as a source of PM pollutionVehicle Emissions
  • Industrial plants as a source of PM pollutionIndustrial Emissions
  • Construction activity as a source of PM pollutionConstruction Sites
  • Wildfires and smoke as sources of PM pollutionWildfires
  • Dusty unpaved 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.

Note : The monitors update every 30 seconds. Our PM sensors have a resolution of ±1.0 micrograms per cubic metre, 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 (PAS-OUT-01) is a digital, laser-based sensor. It is built to track PM1, PM2.5, and PM10 outdoors with precision, and it uses advanced 90° light scattering for real-time accuracy.

Our sensor measures particulate matter across a range of 0 to 31,000 µg/m³. That makes it ideal both for ambient air checks and for high-pollution industrial or construction sites.

The sensor can detect particles as small as 0.3 micrometres (µm). These tiny pollutants are small enough to reach deep into the lungs and the bloodstream.

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

Our sensors are used by a wide range of groups around the world in research, healthcare, and infrastructure. Well-known users include the Boston Consulting Group (BCG), as well as many universities and environmental agencies in other countries.

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

Key features include a dust-proof duct that won't clog, moisture-resistant circuit boards for humid weather, and a closed-loop fan system for steady 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 offers indoor sensors for homes, offices, and schools. These sensors pick up even small changes in air quality, and they are tuned for non-stop indoor monitoring day and night.

Range: 0–31,000 µg/m³ | Voltage: 5V | Particle Resolution: 0.3 µm | Mass Resolution: 1 µg/m³ | Operating Temp: -20°C to +70°C | Dimensions: 4.5 x 4.5 x 2 cm.
