Checking the Air Quality on the Status Panel

You may check the overall air quality, dust concentration, and smell concentration on the status panel.

• Overall air quality: You can check the % color (overall air quality) on the status panel to determine the overall air quality.

• Dust Concentration: You can check the dust concentration by looking at the dust concentration value and the particle size indicator color. It shows the worst status among the PM 10 (fine) / PM 2.5 (ultra-fine) / PM 1.0 (super ultra-fine dust).

  • If the dust concentrations of all categories are 'good', the concentration of the 'PM 10' is displayed.

  • If it is worse than 'moderate', the color and concentration of the dust with the highest contamination level are displayed. If they share the same contamination level, the contamination level is displayed according to the following order: PM 1.0, PM 2.5 and PM 10.

• Smell concentration: You can check the + color (smell concentration) on the status panel to determine the smell concentration.

[Example of the Display Showing Air Quality]

1. Overall air quality

2. Smell concentration color

3. Dust concentration

4. Dust particle size and concentration color

The above picture displays PM10/PM2.5/PM1.0, meaning that the concentration of super ultra-fine dust is higher than those of fine dust and ultra-fine dust.

While the color of the dust particle size is solely determined based on the dust concentration and the color of the +(smell concentration) is solely determined based on the smell concentration, the color of the %(overall air quality) is determined based on the worse cause between the dust and smell.

If the smell is ‘normal’ and the PM 1.0 (super ultra-fine dust) concentration is 50 μg/m³, which is ‘unhealthy’, the overall air quality is displayed in orange as the worst cause is the dust. On the other hand, if the smell is ‘very strong’, the overall air quality is displayed in red because the smell becomes the worst cause.
