A light scattering based low-cost sensor for monitoring particulate matter and volatile organic compounds in buildings is proposed. The sensor will allow for automatic control of high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters resulting in reduced energy usage, increased efficiency, and improved air quality within buildings. The sensor not only measures the particulate concentration but also separates air flows according to particle size, allowing the air to be diverted through the right filter for cleaning.

提出了一种基于光散射的低成本传感器，用于监测建筑物中的颗粒物和挥发性有机化合物。该传感器将允许自动控制高效颗粒空气（HEPA）过滤器，从而减少能源使用，提高效率，并改善建筑物内的空气质量。该传感器不仅测量颗粒浓度，还根据颗粒大小分离气流，使空气通过正确的过滤器进行清洁。
