Is It Normal for QP Monitors to Have Similar or Same PM10 and PM2.5 Values?<\/a> <\/div>\nFirst of all, PM10 should include PM2.5, so it should be greater than or equal to PM2.5 value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When both PM2.5 and PM10 are relatively low, it is normal to see similar reads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To check whether the sensor works well, you may turn on an atomization\u00a0humidifier or light a cigarette next to the QP Lite, and compare the changes of PM10 and PM2.5. The cigarette will increase both PM10 and PM2.5 levels but to a different extent, while humidifier will only increase PM10 level.<\/p>\n
