CO2 Air Quality Monitor and Particle Meter BQ30

The discussion about fine dust pollution in the air and its health effects is now indispensable. But what makes fine dust so dangerous? Basically, the measurement distinguishes between the two particle fractions PM10 and PM2.5.

PM10 includes all particles with a maximum diameter of 10 µm, and PM2.5 includes all those with a diameter smaller than 2.5 µm. These particles cannot be seen with the naked eye. They are so small that especially particles of the size PM2.5 can penetrate deep into the lung alveoli. Even smaller particles under 1 µm in size are even capable of penetrating into blood vessels.

In everyday life, we are surrounded by countless potential sources of fine dust. Whether you live or work on a busy street or near an industrial area – it can be assumed that the fine dust pollution in the breathing air is elevated. In rooms and buildings where many people gather, the CO2 content often also rises above average.

But even familiar things such as cooking, vacuuming, tobacco and candle smoke, or emissions from heating sources like stoves or fireplaces can directly negatively affect the indoor climate and thus well-being. Because an increased concentration of fine dust as well as CO2 content in the air can not only affect general well-being but also be responsible for concentration and sleep disorders as well as various allergic reactions. In the long term, fine dust increases the risk of cardiovascular and respiratory diseases and even lung cancer.
