AcuRite AIR Indoor Air QualitY Monitor gives you real-time indoor air quality information so you can breathe comfortably, work efficiently, sleep well, and generally live better. Indoor air quality is often worse than outdoor air quality, and given that we spend time inside, our home air quality significantly impacts our health and comfort. This home air quality sensor measures and displays PM2.5 concentration, temperature, and humidity levels inside the home, office, or classroom. Maintaining clean air can help minimize adverse health effects associated with poor air quality by increasing productivity, energy, and health. PM2.5 are microscopic air pollution particles that measure 2.5 micrometers or smaller, can remain in the air for long periods, and are small enough to enter the respiratory system, making them the greatest health risk compared to other air pollutants. If inhaled at a high rate over time, these particles can potentially deteriorate lung function. PM2.5 sources include wildfires, vehicles, airplanes, backyard burning (wood or debris), and the smallest-sized pollens. Both urban or rural settings, this air quality detector is essential for all regions and seasons. Most places are affected by spring allergies, wildfires are increasingly common across the west, and homes in cold climates often keep the doors and windows sealed for up to six months at a time! We may consider our homes clean and fresh, but winter months allow the build-up of pet dander and dust, and can even trap odors from cleaning chemicals. This indoor air quality meter tells you the number of smallest particles getting trapped inside your home all year. Know when to ventilate the house or keep the windows closed and run an air purifier. High humidity can make the air hard to breathe, especially for asthma sufferers, it also has an effect on air quality throughout our homes. Increased humidity allows for increased mold particles and dust mites, which are common asthma triggers.
