I Tested the Purpleair Pixel. Here’s the Good and the Bad

Over the past couple of years, it feels like air quality monitoring has been going through the same rapid shift we’re seeing in a lot of tech right now. Everything is getting smaller, more efficient, and more integrated. Now, air quality monitoring is suddenly part of that trend. Sensirion is pushing ultra-compact CO₂ sensors, and now Bosch has stepped in with something that immediately caught my attention: a PM2.5 sensor that looks nothing like what we’ve been using for the past decade. Most low-cost PM sensors are still built around the same general idea: a small optical chamber, a fan,…

All the images in that article are just grey for me. I am using firefox 147.0.1 on macOS

Hi @vonneudeck,

Are you referring to in the post here on cleanair.community, or the original on my website (I Tested the Purpleair Pixel. Here’s the Good and the Bad)? If the former, it’s an issue that I’m looking into at the moment as this forum automatically creates a duplicate of every post from the main website for the purpose of having a comment/discussion area. However, since the images on BreatheSafeAir are served from a CDN, it causes some issues. If the images in the blog article itself aren’t showing, please let me know and I will look into that!

I appreciate the feedback and I definitely don’t take it as an offence. I’ve always been very long-winded (I’m assuming that’s the most similar translation) and it’s something I am trying to improve. I struggle to be concise often and I love to write (long-winded) so it’s rare that I have an article under 5000 words these days. I will keep this in mind and see what I can do to improve in the future :slight_smile:
