Larger particles (>0.1 μm)
Possible sensor measurement issues:
- Particle detection capability – transport of particles to sensor, sensor sensitivity
- Some use a passive means to move air through sensing region; others have a fan.
- Signal translation to concentration estimate
Metal oxide sensors
Possible sensor measurement issues:
- Interfering gases in mixture
- Measurement artifact due to temperature and humidity
- Eventual failure of sensor
Electrochemical sensors
Possible sensor measurement issues:
- Interfering gases in mixture
- Measurement artifact due to temperature and humidity
- Eventual failure of sensor
Photoionization sensors
Possible sensor measurement issues:
- Baseline drift
- Eventual failure of sensor based on lamp lifetime.
