How does the AirBeam sensor work and what does it measure?

The AirBeam uses a light-scattering method to detect different sizes of airborne particles, or particulate matter (PM). Software then estimates the number of particles in the air and reports the concentration in micrograms per cubic meter.  The sensor device inside the Airbeam is a Plantower sensor that is field-proven and reliable.  If you'd like to read more, please visit our partner's info page on this.
