The HongKong Dylos experiment
Real-time Air Quality readings from Hong Kong mid-levels

Share: aqicn.org/sensor/hongkong/midlevels/

Introduction

For more information about those real-time dylos and BAM monitor PM2.5 and PM10 readings, please refer to our article on the Dylos Air Particule Counter experimentation.

If you want to know about other affordarable Air Quality Sensors such as Shinyei and Samyoung, check our sensor overview page.

There is currently no more active Dylos station active in Hong Kong

Real-time data from Hong Kong

Current dylos readings are: Particules larger than 0.5 is -, larger than 2.5 is -, updated on - - (China time).

Time series graphs

Those two graphs show the last 15 days data correlation for the Dylos monitor from Hong Kong mid-levels (in blue) and BAM monitor from Hong Kong, Causeway Bay (in red). Note that as the station was recently added, the correlation graph is not yet relevant as not enough data is available.

Variation between stations

The next 2 graphics show the PM2.5 and PM10 raw values (in µg/m3) for different BAM stations (i.e. without the Dylos values) in Hong Kong, for the last 10 days. This is provided to ensure that there is not significant devitation between the various stations, especially considering that some are located on the road side, while others are in the living area.
Hong Kong Central, BAM PM2.5 in µg/m3
Hong Kong Causeway Bay, BAM PM.25 in µg/m3
Hong Kong Eastern, BAM PM2.5 in µg/m3
Hong Kong Central Western, BAM PM2.5 in µg/m3

About the Air Quality Levels

AQI Air Pollution Level Health Implications Cautionary Statement (for PM2.5)
0 - 50 Good Air quality is considered satisfactory, and air pollution poses little or no risk None
51 -100 Moderate Air quality is acceptable; however, for some pollutants there may be a moderate health concern for a very small number of people who are unusually sensitive to air pollution. Active children and adults, and people with respiratory disease, such as asthma, should limit prolonged outdoor exertion.
101-150 Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups Members of sensitive groups may experience health effects. The general public is not likely to be affected. Active children and adults, and people with respiratory disease, such as asthma, should limit prolonged outdoor exertion.
151-200 Unhealthy Everyone may begin to experience health effects; members of sensitive groups may experience more serious health effects Active children and adults, and people with respiratory disease, such as asthma, should avoid prolonged outdoor exertion; everyone else, especially children, should limit prolonged outdoor exertion
201-300 Very Unhealthy Health warnings of emergency conditions. The entire population is more likely to be affected. Active children and adults, and people with respiratory disease, such as asthma, should avoid all outdoor exertion; everyone else, especially children, should limit outdoor exertion.
300+ Hazardous Health alert: everyone may experience more serious health effects Everyone should avoid all outdoor exertion
