The dust sensor should be installed in a well ventilated place, far from some "human influences". If you are just smoking a cigar at some meters from them, the readings can go very high quickly.

How do the dust sensors get on with pollen from the likes of trees etc? Right now we are heading into spring and everything is turning into a light yellow colour around my place with pollen, not to mention I'm also sneezing my head off. What would your recommendations be for mounting the dust sensor in proximity to pollen producing trees? Will this have an affect on the readings like smoking, or are these types of particles outside of what the sensors are looking for?

This can also bring up the question of maintenance for the Air Quality Monitor. What would the recommended cleaning frequency be for these sensors based upon the research done during the testing/development stage of this board?

Kind regards,
