With this PM2.5 sensor you can track and sense the quality of the air around you. The sensor includes the cable and a breadboard adapter. If you travel accros industrial area then you should hook up this sensor on your truck. And for those of us not living in megalopolis, this sensor (with adapter kit) would help you for monitoring air quality, and super easy to use!

This sensor is made for real-time, reliable measurement of PM2.5 dust concentrations! PM2.5 means Particle Micron 2.5 and refers to the diameter size of particle that can be measured (2.5 microns or smaller). This sensor uses laser to radiate suspending particles in the air, then collects diffracted/reflected light to obtain the curve of scattering light change with time. The microprocessor calculates equivalent particle diameter and the number of particles with different diameter per unit volume.
