Abstract

Four low-cost optical particle counters (Speck, Dylos, OPC N2, and IC Sentinel) are tested in a controlled environmental chamber, under exposure to varying concentrations of four common indoor bioaerosols: 1) dust mite, 2) cat fur, 3) dog fur, and 4) pollen. Comparing the sensor performance against the reference sensor (AeroTrak TSI) showed that linearity of low-cost sensor response highly varies with particle type and concentration, although most sensors show linear responses for concentrations > 5/cm3
