THE PARTICLES NOTES
Particle notes
How to log a cooking or window event so a laser reading stays a trend, not a calibrated mass.
How should a cooking or window event be written beside a laser reading?
Tyler Cipriani’s bedroom chart lined up with cooking spikes and a filter change. RevK’s kitchen particles went off the scale while carbon dioxide also rose. Opening a window can lower carbon dioxide and can also bring roadside particles in. The blank record therefore has window state, hob state, occupancy and the three distances. Without those columns the file is only a strip of numbers. Those rooms belong to the authors. This publication has not published a kitchen series.
- Window state, open or shut.
- Hob state, on or off.
- How many people, and how far the monitor sits from them.
When is a laser particle reading not a calibrated mass?
No microgram-per-cubic-metre value on this site is a calibrated mass concentration. Tyler Cipriani named a Plantower PMS5003 and wrote, citing literature, that it needs factory calibration before it approaches a dearer reference. He did not publish a reference-instrument table. Related shops are listed on the disclosure page and are not used here as a mass reference. Geerling’s window-work figure stays his. Consumer particle readings are not a medical result.
| Record | What it is |
|---|---|
| Laser spike with the hob on | A particle event, until the log says otherwise. |
| The same spike with no event columns | A strip of numbers. The source is not identified. |
| A µg/m³ figure without a reference instrument | Not a calibrated mass on these pages. |
