Dust results seem very high

Closed this issue · 4 comments

I am getting very high dust concentration results using the this code. What units are the results in? Is it the standard ug/m3 for the 2.5 and everything else? Has anyone else seen those results?

The output has a few parameters from the counting of particles with certain size, the concentration of PM1, PM2.5, PM10 under two condition, and a PM2.5 estimation. Could you post your output and point which one you think it was high? For concentration of PM, it should be ug/m3.

A few reports suggested that PMS7003 over-estimated the real PM2.5 concentration. I did my comparison here (for your ref): https://www.b-io.info/posts/studies/dust_sensor/
so the 'true' value of PM2.5 = 0.51*PM2.5 (reported by PMS7003).
Also, for a single-digit concentration, PMS7003 becomes less reliable.
