Air quality
The air quality measured by the unit is shown as a number on the display and as a colour on the unit.
Number: The number on the display shows the particle load in the air. This is shown in micrograms per cubic metre (µg/m³). The lower the number, the lower the particle load and the better the air quality.
The device measures fine dust particles, with a size of 2.5 micrometres (=0.0025mm) and smaller. These particles are commonly called PM2.5.
At a reading between 0-100 micrograms, the air quality is still OK. The air quality decreases at higher loads.
Colour: The device also displays the air quality as a colour on top of the device.
Blue | means that the air quality is good. |
Yellow | means that the air quality is moderate. |
Red | means that the air quality is poor. |
