Plantower Air Quality Sensor - PM2.5 & Temperature/Humidity Detector
The Plantower Air Quality Sensor is a two-in-one detector for PM2.5 and temperature humidity detection, ready to monitor and ensure you're breathing healthy air.
Air quality sensors are extremely useful for Makers wishing to test the air and ensure a safe environment for their sensitive projects or even themselves. The increasing industrialisation of the world, of course, results in the by-product of pollution in some areas. It's not surprising that Makers want to focus on their health and closely measure the environment around us. This awesome Plantower Air Quality Sensor detects temperature and humidity, and is capable of determining the PM2.5 (particulate matter) level in a room.
This Plantower Air Quality Sensor is the same as found in our PMS5003T air quality kit and includes the connector cable for connecting to your next project. The sensor works on the principle of laser light scattering. The laser helps to identify extremely tiny particles in the air measuring between 0.3μm and 10μm by measuring the light received by a photosensitive diode on the other side of the channel. This combination of temperature, humidity, and PM2.5 level detection makes this multi-sensor almost entirely standalone, with the only extras that you need being the power supply or batter pack and the microcontroller (we recommend an Arduino Board) to integrate this multi-sensor into whatever project you’re planning.
Please Note: This Plantower Air Quality Sensor does not include the PM2.5 Adapter Module. You may purchase these together with our Air Quality Sensor PMS5003T Kit.

Typical Applications for this Awesome Air Quality Multi-Sensor:
This fantastic air quality multi-sensor is ideal for a wide range of different applications, but as you may have suspected, it’s main purpose is to assist with improving, monitoring or carefully controlling the quality of breathable air of spaces in which people work, live and interact with each other. This helps to boost productivity of people within these spaces, making them happier and less prone to the common ailments of stale or slightly toxic air, and this can be extremely important for spaces such as factories and workshops, but also extends into standard offices, homes or even the garage or workstation where you enjoy all of your favourite hobbies.
