Air quality sensors
Those days, the problem of air purity is more and more often considered in the context of designing devices aimed at improving air quality. The reason for this is the rapid development of industry, the increase in the number of buildings and motor vehicles, and, consequently, the increased production of environmental pollutants. Sensing devices are also increasingly found in air quality monitoring applications. Compared to conventional methods, with the help of our sensors, you can perform air pollution measurements at a low cost anywhere. In both residential and working buildings, sensors of air quality parameters such as dust or the presence of gases dangerous to health and life, in order to ensure safety, cooperate with acoustic signalling, which is activated when the sensor detects exceeding the permissible level of pollutants in the air. Our store's offer includes sensors with high accuracy in measuring air quality parameters. Such sensors make it possible to build a comprehensive station to measure the parameters of environmental conditions in real-time. An additional advantage is the compatibility of the sensor modules with popular platforms for embedded systems, such as Arduino and Raspberry Pi.

Air sensor - Air pollution measured electronically
To care for the quality of the air we breathe and that our children will breathe, we must take care of the environment and our atmosphere. In our store, we offer high-quality air purity sensors (measuring the concentration of pollutants), which will allow you to closely observe the surrounding aura and its quality.
The most common and most poisonous to the atmosphere include sulfur and carbon dioxides and nitrogen oxides. Air pollution is one of the most dangerous of all types of pollution because it is easily transmitted and the area of contamination can be really large. In this section, we offer sensors that enable accurate measurement of pollutant concentrations.
Air pollution sensor - Low emissions confirmed by measurements
What is low emissions? This is the release of harmful gases and dust at a height of up to 40 meters . This type of pollution comes mainly from home furnaces and local boiler rooms, and its feature is that numerous sources introduce small amounts of pollutants into the atmosphere, which can then create smog. The main component of smog is the so-called suspended dust.
Smog sensors - what is worth knowing about them?
Smog, i.e. the mixing of fog with smoke and exhaust gases, is a phenomenon that is extremely harmful to our health. The home air quality sensor then records the highest pollution values. Our store offers devices that will allow us to properly assess the level of threat.
Air quality sensor - Suspended dust detected
Suspended dust, or the so-called atmospheric aerosols, are one of the most dangerous forms of pollution for humans. We divide them mainly into two groups - PM10 and PM2.5 . PM10 are particles suspended in the air whose diameter does not exceed 10 micrometers. It is very harmful, especially to children, the elderly and those suffering from asthma and allergies.
PM2.5 dust is considered the worst type of pollution because the diameter of the pollutants is no larger than 2.5 micrometers, which means that they can enter the human bloodstream and, together with the blood, wreak havoc throughout the body.
How does the air quality sensor work?
The air passing through the measurement control is examined for its level of pollutant concentration. If air pollution exceeds the threshold, the sensor informs e.g. household members about this event.
Our precise air quality sensors can detect both types of particulate matter. Equip your home with this type of probe and avoid going outside during the worst times. The Botland store's assortment includes, among others: efficient air purifier whose main task is to effectively remove, among others: dust suspended in the air. The production of air fresheners includes, among others: carbon filters.
Air purity sensors - FAQ
When choosing an air quality sensor, first of all, pay attention to measurement accuracy, operating range, power supply, mounting method, and the possibility of safe use outdoors. Another issue is how the sensor will communicate, e.g. with the Arduino microcontroller. You should also check the operating humidity range. Selected air purity meters allow you to measure factors such as PM 1.0, PM 2.5 and PM10.
Selected air quality sensors offered in housings, on the one hand, provide protection for, among others: against mechanical damage, and on the other hand, they guarantee the correct operation of the sensor. Another method of protection are protective foils installed at the sensor production stage.
