Figure 3: Detailed view of the monitor's display interface.
- PM2.5, PM1.0, PM10: Displays the concentration of particulate matter in micrograms per cubic meter (µg/m³). These values indicate the presence of fine particles in the air.
- AQI (Air Quality Index): Provides an overall assessment of air quality based on the highest pollutant concentration. The display often includes a color-coded bar or text (e.g., "Unhealthy") to indicate the current AQI level.
- Air Temp: Shows the ambient air temperature in Celsius (°C).
- Humidity: Displays the relative humidity percentage (%).
5.2 Interpreting Readings
The monitor's display uses color indicators and text to help you quickly understand the air quality status. Refer to standard air quality guidelines for detailed interpretation of PM values and AQI levels.
Note: The device is designed for indoor use. External factors like strong airflow, smoke, or dust can temporarily affect readings.
