PM2.5
Most of the indoor air pollutants fall
under PM2.5 – which refers to airborne
particle pollutants smaller than
2.5 micrometers. Common indoor sources
of ne particles are tobacco smoke,
cooking, burning candles. Some airborne
bacteria and the smallest mold spores,
pet allergen and dust mite allergen
particles also fall under PM2.5.
Formaldehyde
This is a household chemical that is often
used in the manufacture of carpets, glues,
dyes, markers and paints. A colorless
gas released from paints, solvents and
adhesives, formaldehyde typically
leaches from furniture, soft furnishings,
wood products and construction
materials. It is an irritant and a known
carcinogen, with prolonged exposure
considered a serious health risk.
Indoor formaldehyde could remain a
period of emission time ranging from
3 years to more than 10 years, with high
temperature and humidity promote the
release of formaldehyde.
It is important to monitor the
formaldehyde release through the sensor.
