2. INTRODUCTION
Particle pollution comes from many different type of sources. Fine
particle (2.5 micrometers in diameter and smaller) include power plants,
industrial processes, vehicle tailpipes, wood stoves, and wildfires.
Coarse particles (between 2.5 and 10 micrometers) come from
crushing and grinding operations, road dust, and some agricultural
operations.
Particle pollution is linked a number of health problems, including
coughing, wheezing, reduced lung function, asthma attacks, heart
attacks and strokes. It also is linked to early death.
Some people may be at greater risk from particle pollution. They
include:
People with cardiovascular disease (diseases of the heart and blood
vessels).
People with lung disease, including asthma and COPD.
Children and teenagers.
Older adults.
Research indicates that obesity or diabetes may increase risk.
New or expectant mothers may want to take precaution to protect the
health of their babies.
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) definitions: A VOCs is any organic
compound having an initial boiling point less than or equal to 250℃
(480℉) measured at a standard atmospheric pressure of 101.3 kPa.
VOCs play an important role in indoor and outdoor air pollutants.
Vehicular and industrial emissions are the major sources of outdoor VOCs.
Indoor sources are quite numerous including combustion product, cooking,
construction materials, furnishings, paints, varnishes and solvents,
adhesives and caulks, office equipment and consumer products.
Concentrations of many VOCs are consistently higher indoors (up to ten
times higher) than outdoors.

PM2.5AIRQUALITYMONITOR / EN
05/24/18 Version No. 00 3
VOCs include a variety of chemicals that can cause eye, nose and throat
irritation, shortness of breath, headaches, fatigue, nausea, dizziness, and
skin problems. Higher concentrations may cause irritation of the lungs, as
well as damage to the liver, kidney, or central nervous system.
Some VOCs are suspected to cause cancer in humans and have been
shown to cause cancer in animals. The health effects caused by VOCs
depend on the concentration and length of exposure to the chemicals.
The meter is a real-time air quality monitor instrument used to monitor
the concentration of PM2.5, VOCs, humidity and temperature in the
indoor environment.
The meter convert the concentration of PM2.5 and VOCs in the air into
visual data, and evaluate the air quality comprehensively. Visual and audio
alarm will be actived when the air quality reached a critical or alarm limit
values.

6-7 Taking Alarm Operation
1. Quantity for alarm operation
Alarm setpoints:
A alarm monitors the quantity chosen for the alarm operation. When
the measured value is in between the “high” and “low” limit values,
the alarm is OFF. When choosing low value as “high” value and
higher value as “low” value, the alarm is OFF when the measured
value is not between the setpoints. You can also set only one
setpoints.
The figure for illustrative examples of the different measurement-
based alarm operation modes.
Hysteresis function is to prevent the alarm operation back and forth
when the measured value is near to the setpoint values. Hysteresis
value should be smaller than difference of the setpoints.
The following figure for illustrative examples of the different
measurement-based alarm output modes.
