concentrations of, among other things.<br \/>\n <strong>PM1, PM2.5 and PM10<\/strong> particles with an accuracy of up to 1 ug\/m3.<br \/>\nCommunication with devices of this type takes place via an integrated <strong>Bluetooth BLE<\/strong> module providing connectivity to smartphones, for example.<br \/>\nIn addition, manufacturers of selected sensors provide an application that allows reading and remote management of the sensor.   <\/p>\n<p>Some sensors use a laser module to generate an extremely precise <strong>beam of light<\/strong>, which is then directed into the medium being tested (such as air).<br \/>\nAs the laser light penetrates the air, the built-in microprocessor in the sensor carefully analyzes their amount and type.<br \/>\nSuch measurement involves a detailed analysis of changes in light scattering over a specified period of time.<br \/>\nThis makes it possible to accurately determine the concentration of particulates in the air.<br \/>\nSensors of this type take into account not only the number of particles through which the laser beam penetrates, but also their diameter.    <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div
