In 2023, Luftmy has observed that people are increasingly focusing on healthy and comfortable lifestyles. Consequently, they have become very concerned about indoor air quality and aim to purify their indoor environments as much as possible.

Among various air pollutants, dust is one of the most common indoor contaminants, significantly affecting health and life quality. Choosing a suitable indoor dust sensor is therefore essential.

How should we choose the right indoor dust sensor?

1. Sensor Type: Optical sensors offer fast response and high precision but are sensitive to ambient light. Inductive sensors are cost-effective but less accurate, suitable for large-scale monitoring. Electrostatic sensors offer good durability for long-term monitoring but lower precision.

2. Detection Range: The typical range is 0.1-100μm. If you are mainly concerned with PM2.5, choose a sensor specifically covering the 0.1-2.5μm range.

3. Accuracy: Accuracy usually falls within ±10%-20%. For precise monitoring data, high-precision models are required.

4. Price: Prices range from dozens to thousands of dollars. Choose based on your specific requirements and budget.

When placing the sensor, ensure it is in a well-ventilated area away from obvious pollution sources, and remember that regular calibration is necessary to maintain data integrity over time.
