Experimental Studies on the Classification of Airborne Particles Based on Their Optical Properties

We evaluated the proposed correlation value for the analysis of airborne particles using light-scattering signals and aerodynamic size determined using a well-known commercial instrument. This method enables the real-time classification of the components of airborne particles. The correlation value can be applied to classify biological and heavy metal components based on their density. This study opens the path to enhance the current bioaerosol and non-bioaerosol detection system and could help in optimizing the fast detection and classification of airborne particle components.
