How Particulate Matter Sizes Compare
Particulate Matter (PM) is a mix of solid particles and liquid droplets that float in the air. Because they are so small, these particles can get into the lungs and harm long-term health.
PM1
1µm or smaller
PM2.5
2.5µm or smaller
PM10
10µm or smaller
A Guide to Air Pollutants: PM
Particulate Matter (PM) is grouped by its diameter, with PM2.5 (fine particles) and PM10 (coarse particles) being the ones that matter most for air quality checks.

- PM10
- PM2.5
- PM2.5

- PM10
Learn about each PM size
PM1
These are particles with a diameter of 1 micrometre or smaller. They can get into the bloodstream and cause health problems across the whole body.
PM2.5
Fine particles smaller than 2.5 micrometres. They are small enough to reach deep into the lungs, which may lead to long-term breathing problems.
PM10
Particles with a diameter of 10 micrometres or smaller, such as dust and pollen. Although larger, they can still irritate the airways and cause allergies.
Particle Count
This metric gives the total number of particles present in the air, whatever their size. It offers you a broader view of the overall air quality.

Accuracy Test: Prana Air Sensor vs. BAM
A full evaluation 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 match between the two. This confirms that our sensor comes close to reference-grade accuracy.

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.
