{"product_id":"particle-counter","title":"PARTICLE COUNTER","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis monitor displays both \u003cstrong\u003eparticle count\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eparticulate mass (PM)\u003c\/strong\u003e to give a fuller picture of your air than standard PM-only monitors. PM shows the total weight of particles, but weight alone can miss huge numbers of sub-micron particles small enough to enter the lungs and bloodstream. Particle count shows how many particles are present, even when PM looks low.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf PM2.5 appears low but particle count is high, the air may still contain millions of tiny particles that don't register as mass. For everyday use, PM helps with compliance and general air quality, while particle count is better for spotting trends, indoor sources, and changes in real time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe particle counter is designed for \u003cstrong\u003etrend detection\u003c\/strong\u003e, not regulatory accuracy. Like all consumer particle counters, it has a margin of error and is sensitive to humidity and airflow. Its job is simple: reveal relative change. When you cook, ventilate, open a window, or run an air purifier, you'll see the shifts immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's ideal for identifying spikes in sub-micron particles when PM values remain low.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnderstanding the data\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e0.3 µm\u003c\/strong\u003e – Sub-micron count; very fine aerosols (note: ultrafine particles are \u0026lt;0.1 µm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e0.5 µm\u003c\/strong\u003e – Sub-micron count; combustion particles and secondary aerosols\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1 µm\u003c\/strong\u003e – Fine particle count; general respirable particles (typically the most stable channel)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2.5 µm\u003c\/strong\u003e – Aligns with PM2.5; smoke, combustion residue, urban pollution\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5 µm\u003c\/strong\u003e – Coarse count; dust, fibres, larger debris\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e10 µm\u003c\/strong\u003e – Aligns with PM10; coarse dust, pollen, mechanical disturbance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCounts\u003c\/strong\u003e = how many particles are in each size range\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePM values\u003c\/strong\u003e = estimated mass of all particles up to that size\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReading the screen (examples based on the display image)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePM10 is higher than the 10 µm count because PM10 includes all smaller particles too.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePM2.5 can match the 2.5 µm count because larger particles dominate the mass, even if smaller ones are far more numerous but carry little weight.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePM1 can be low because sub-micron particles contribute very little mass despite being abundant.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eParticle count + PM mass\u003c\/strong\u003e – Dual measurement for complete air insight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e6 size channels\u003c\/strong\u003e – 0.3µm, 0.5µm, 1µm, 2.5µm, 5µm, 10µm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrend detection focused\u003c\/strong\u003e – See real-time changes from cooking, ventilation, purifiers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePortable \u0026amp; lightweight\u003c\/strong\u003e – Take it anywhere\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBattery powered\u003c\/strong\u003e – Perfect for spot checks and indoor air investigations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTax \u0026amp; Customs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis product excludes UK sales tax but you will be required to pay EU tax (and possibly customs) on arrival.
