Overall Air Quality

Understanding Overall Air Quality

The overall air quality is calculated based on the particles and odor (gas) concentrations and is categorized
in 4 levels, including green, yellow, orange, and red, depending on the contamination of the air.

Orange Unhealthy
Yellow Moderate

NOTE
• The color of the overall air quality is determined by the worst level among the concentration of dust and
odor (gas).
• The level of dust concentration for LG Electronics products is the result expressed after measuring the
quantity of dust using an optical method and converting the measurement into PM10 concentration.
• The overall air quality level is a result of both PM concentration and the odor level.
• Whether it is a different product or the same product used in the same space, the concentration
measurement may vary due to air circulation.
• Unlike odors (gases), fine dust (PM10) spreads slowly, so the time at which the dust concentration is
measured may be delayed.
• Air flow near the PM1.0 sensor may interrupt normal operation of the PM1.0 sensor and indicated
concentration may be different from actual concentration, accordingly.
• When the product is used in the following environment, the measured concentration may differ from the
actual concentration.
– Near fabric sofas and beds, around hairy carpets, while making beds/folding clothes, while using
vacuum cleaners, places with bugs and pets, and places with high humidity.
– Places where outside air is available, such as construction sites, roadsides, and factories, or near
outside doors, windows, and vents.
– Places where products generating steam or fine particles (humidifiers, kitchen tools, or sprays) are
used.
– The sensor may not detect particles larger than PM10 generated by activities such as dusting off
blankets or cleaning, but they are removed by the filter.
• The concentration of odors (gas) may vary due to items emitting odors such as air fresheners,
deodorizers, detergents, cosmetics. or perfumes.
• You can check the dust concentration through the LG ThinQ application.
