battery or the USB port. The USB port also is used to charge the battery. At full charge, the battery provides up to 5 hours of continuous operation or unlimited operation when plugged into a USB power source. The particle counter displays all measurements simultaneously on the device's 2.4" full-color LCD screen. PM values appear the largest in the colors green, yellow, gold, orange, pink and red. This visual color-coding system makes it easy to recognize when PM concentration levels become dangerous, allowing for quick action.
When inhaled, PM 2.5 and PM 10 particles can settle deep into the lungs and result in damaging health effects. Since the PCE-RCM 10 particle counter monitors PM 2.5 and PM 10 particles, the device has many practical health and safety applications. Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) technicians use PM 2.5 and PM 10 particle counters for HVAC system performance and filtration audits. In addition, industrial hygienists and workplace safety professionals rely on PM 2.5 and PM 10 particle counters when evaluating occupational health and safety risks related to hazardous and combustible dust.
