Means For Identifying Sensed Particle Matter

Increases sensitivityReduces temperature sensitivityReduces power requirementsReduces size and costsEliminates the need for vertically orienting the device to maintain a vertical airflowAnalyzes data without the need for bulky, expensive equipmentCouples to a location-aware mobile device (i.e. cell phone) to enable geographical analysis of particulates

Inexpensive and thereby widespread measurement of airborne particulate matter concentrations such as diesel exhaust, woodsmoke, tobacco smoke and potentially pollen.The monitors can be situated on buildings, electricity distribution and transmission lines, and other infrastructure, as well as in mobile applications such as on individuals and vehicles (i.e. cars, buses, trucks and trains).
