School Air Quality Testing Kit
The Aeroqual School Air Quality Testing Kit can be used by teachers to educate students on measuring the common pollutants found near schools. Features Aeroqual’s provenRanger portable monitor with interchangeable sensor heads, measuring particulate matter (PM1, PM2.5, PMresp, PM10, and TSP), and either nitrogen dioxide (NO2) or ozone (O3). Suitable for use as an educational learning tool and for raising pollution awareness within the school community.
Includes swappable sensor heads, measuring particulate matter (PM1, PM2.5, PMresp, PM10, and TSP), and either nitrogen dioxide (NO2) OR ozone (O3)
Gather data in real-time using the Aeroqual Ranger’s inbuilt real-time data logger
Long-life lithium battery and in-field calibration make this an easy-to-use kit, delivering highly accurate results
Product overview
The School Air Quality Testing Kit features industry-quality instruments used by researchers and air quality professionals around the world in an affordable, easy-to-use package. Simply swap out the sensor head on the Series 500 portable monitor for the pollutant you wish to monitor. Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and particulate matter (PM) are emitted directly by stationary vehicles, and ozone (O3) is created when NO2 and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) combine in the presence of sunlight. The health risks of overexposure to these pollutants are well-documented. This kit also includes a combined temperature and relative humidity sensor.
Protect your school and your community, learning more about the quality of your outdoor air, keeping parent in the know, and lobbying local authorities for pollution reduction measures. For a full set of tools, including additional sensor heads measuring CO and VOCs, see the Outdoor Air Quality Test Kit (Pro).

FAQs
There are many different types of outdoor air pollution. Measuring them all would be too expensive, so regulators focus on a smaller group of common air pollutants, sometimes known as the criteria pollutants. The criteria pollutants are:
Nitrogen dioxide (NO2)
Sulfur dioxide (SO2)
Carbon monoxide (CO)
Ozone (O3)
Particulate matter (PM)
As always requirements should be confirmed with your local regulatory body.
Sensors are housed within an interchangeable ‘sensor head’ that attaches to the monitor base. You can choose from up to 28 different gas and particulate sensor heads. Each sensor head contains a single gas or particle sensor. Swapping sensor heads takes seconds and no configuration or re-calibration is required.
You can find our specifications for our sensor heads here:
Aeroqual-Portable-Fixed-Sensor-Specifications.pdf
Note: Accuracy may drift as the sensor ages.
How many sensors can I use on the monitor at once?
You can only connect one gas or particulate sensor head at a time to monitor.
Can I use the PMX sensor head with any portable monitor?
The PMX sensor is only compatible with the Ranger.
What is the PPM to mg/m³ conversion factor?
The Ranger applies a conversion factor to convert ppm to mg/m3 which is dependent on the molecular weight of the gas being measured.
Do I return the instrument for calibration?
Only the sensor head needs to be calibrated. The base unit does not need to be calibrated. All parameters are stored on the sensor head.
The sensor head calibration should be completed after the first year.
