I brought my AQI monitor to Saigon. I was curious to see the air quality. Saigon’s air is getting worse but I would argue it has always been bad. I still remember my black feet when moving to a villa in Thu Duc back in 2004.
Anyway, here is a reading I got from the room I am staying in. Not bad. With the air conditioner on, it drops below 50 which is healthy.
I did a calibration test by comparing this reader with the US Consulate reading here in Saigon. My AQI gave me a reading of 84 PM2.5 while the US Consulate gave a reading of 78. I was about 1 km away.
I will do a more thorough review later.
I’ve been wanting to get one. Is it possible to order from Alibabaexpress I wonder? Also, does your give both PM2.5 and PM10 readings? Does is have any of the other sensors as well? As a bit of a data geek (A.K.A. math teacher…) I would love to have this for my own use but also I’m sure it wold lend to some great class activities.
My AQI is not calibrated for Vietnam yet. Will try tk get it calibrated in December. I will try to import them to Vietnam in 2017.
