The AQ-SPEC program has acquired a number of commercially available "low-cost" air quality sensors. Please click on the image for information on a specific sensor as provided by the manufacturer.
General Description The Ecowitt sensors (Model: WH41B) are designed to provide real-time measurements of PM2.5 mass concentrations. It also measures temperature and relative humidity.
Principle of Operation The Ecowitt sensors use Honeywell HPM Series Particulate Sensor which detects and counts particles using light scattering. The light scattered by the particles as they pass through the laser beam is recorded on the light detector. The light is then analyzed and converted to an electrical signal to calculate particle concentration. The detection concentration range of the sensor is 0 – 1,000 µg/m3.
