AQI, NowCast AQI, and Sensirion VOC Index are reported as follows.
- USA AQI: According to the USA Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) guidelines, the Air Quality Index (AQI) for PM2.5 and PM10 calculates the 24-hour average concentrations of particulate matter, providing a comprehensive reflection of air quality over a period of time on a scale from 0 to 500[1].
- USA NowCast AQI: It takes a full 24 hours to obtain an AQI value, and it is not valid to use shorter-term (e.g., hourly) data to calculate a PM2.5 and PM10 AQI value. EPA's AirNow provides a real-time reporting method in rapidly changing air quality conditions, such as during fire events[1][2].
- Sensirion VOC Index: The VOC Index is an output of the Gas Index Algorithm process by the manufacturer, which represents the VOCs level and mimics the human nose's perception of odors with a relative intensity compared to recent history[3].
Breakpoints for the AQI[1]
| Category | AQI | PM2.5 Concentration (µg/m³) | PM10 Concentration (µg/m³) | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Good | 0 - 50 | 0 - 9 | 0 - 54 | Air quality is satisfactory, and air pollution poses little or no risk. |
| Moderate | 51 - 100 | 9.1 - 35.4 | 55 - 154 | Air quality is acceptable. However, there may be a risk for some people, particularly those who are unusually sensitive to air pollution. |
| Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups | 101 - 150 | 35.5 - 55.4 | 155 - 254 | Members of sensitive groups may experience health effects. The general public is less likely to be affected. |
| Unhealthy | 151 - 200 | 55.5 - 125.4 | 255 - 354 | Some members of the general public may experience health effects; members of sensitive groups may experience more serious health effects. |
| Very Unhealthy | 201 - 300 | 125.5 - 225.4 | 355 - 424 | Health alert: The risk of health effects is increased for everyone. |
| Hazardous | 301+ | 225.5+ | 425+ | Health warning of emergency conditions: everyone is more likely to be affected. |
Breakpoints for the VOCs[3]
| Category | VOC Index | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Fan Off | 0 - 150 | Air quality is satisfactory with minimal VOCs in the indoor environment. No need to turn on the air purifier. |
| Minimum Fan Power | 150 - 250 | Air quality is acceptable, but some people may be at risk. Use the minimum fan power if possible. |
| Medium Fan Power | 250 - 400 | Sensitive groups may experience health effects. Medium fan power is recommended for the air purifier. |
| Maximum Fan Power | 400 - 500 | VOC levels are very high. It is strongly suggested to open windows for fresh air and use the air purifier at maximum power. |
1. Air Quality Sensor
Real-time air quality insights
- PM 2.5: Fine particulate matter that can penetrate deep into the lungs.
- PM 10: Coarse particles affecting respiratory health.
- Sensirion VOC Index: Volatile Organic Compounds, indicating the presence of harmful chemicals. VOCs are a combination of gases and odors emitted from many different toxins and chemicals found in everyday products
By providing real-time data, we ensure a proactive approach to maintaining a healthier and safer environment for everyone. Stay informed and take control of the air you breathe.
2. Atmospheric Sensors
Real-time atmospheric readings
- Temperature: Accurate tracking of ambient temperature to maintain optimal comfort and safety levels.
- Pressure: Monitoring of atmospheric pressure for insights into weather changes and environmental conditions.
- Humidity: Real-time humidity measurement to ensure a balanced indoor environment, promoting comfort and health.
With precise and continuous data from the BME280 sensor, we can actively regulate and enhance the environment, ensuring a comfortable and safe atmosphere for all occupants. Stay ahead of environmental changes and optimize your surroundings with real-time insights.
