My research is about measuring particulates accumulation in indoor environment.
Dear Hema,
Speck Sensor is a reliable sensor and it is a right choice. Little detail about the performance and innovation of the sensor is described below.
Our lives indoors can be exposed to a number of pollutants smaller than 2.5 microns (particulate matter, PM2.5) resulting in detrimental health effects. Indoor air quality sensors have the potential to provide people with the information they need to understand their risk and take steps to reduce their exposure. One such sensor is the Speck sensor developed at the Community Robotics, Education and Technology Empowerment Lab at Carnegie Mellon University. This sensor provides users with continuous real-time and historical PM2.5 information, a Web-based platform where people can track their PM2.5 levels over time and learn about ways to reduce their exposure, and a venue (blog post) for the user community to exchange information.
After using the sensor people reported higher levels of knowledge about indoor air pollution, confidence in their ability to improve indoor air, and improved indoor air quality (possibly as a result of taking mitigation actions). Moreover, there appear to be other benefits from engaging in information about indoor air pollution through this experiential means, such as talking to others about the potential risks they may face and using the technology to make positive changes in indoor spaces other than the home.
Hope you will like it and work out for you.
