# Dust Detector Bricklet

Note

This Bricklet is currently work-in-progress!

## Features

- Measures dust density between 0 and 500µg/m³
- Measures particle sizes >= 0.5µm

## Description

The Dust Detector Bricklet can be used to extend the features of Bricks with the capability to measure dust density. The measured dust density can be read out in µg/m³. With configurable events it is possible to react on changing dust density without polling.

Typical applications are measurements of cigarette smoke, smog, house dust, pollen, etc.
