Pollutant Size Comparison

Comparison of particulate matter with a human hair

Particulate Matter (PM) is a mix of solid particles and liquid droplets that float in the air. Because they are so small, 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 particle diameter, with PM2.5 (fine particles) and PM10 (coarse particles) being the main markers used to assess 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 and pose health risks across the body.

  • PM2.5

    Fine particles smaller than 2.5 micrometres. These are small enough to reach deep into the lungs, which may lead to long-term health conditions.

  • PM10

    Particles you can inhale with a diameter of 10 micrometres or smaller, including dust and pollen. They can irritate the airways and set off allergies.

  • Particle Count

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

Accuracy Test: Prana Air Sensor vs. BAM

Comparison of Prana Air sensor data with BAM reference monitor

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

The results showed a strong correlation. This 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 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 is a digital, laser-based device. It is built to track PM1, PM2.5, and PM10 with precision in outdoor and industrial settings, and it uses the 90° light scattering method for real-time accuracy.

Our sensor measures particulate matter from 0 to 31,000 µg/m³. That makes it a good fit for ambient air quality checks in cities, and also for high-pollution industrial sites.

The sensor can detect particles as small as 0.3 micrometres (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, including Beta Attenuation Monitoring (BAM) and TSI DustTrak systems. Independent research by technical bodies around the world backs this up. It shows that the sensor is highly accurate and a close match for industry standards.

Leading groups around the world use our sensors, across the research, healthcare, and industrial sectors. They include the Boston Consulting Group (BCG), as well as many universities and environmental agencies in other countries.

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 demanding 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.
