The paper is introduced with a short explanation of concerns with a suspended particulate matter, what role it has in the air quality and how it affects health of human population. Then, problems of construction of the measurement device supported by a theoretical explanation on the basis of Mie theory are discussed. Subsequently, it is followed by an analysis of the device operation both in laboratory and in real conditions. Results obtained with the presented device are compared with the professional measurement equipment and an expensive, outdoor measurement station. Paper is concluded with observations of differences in spatio-temporal PM change at very close but significantly different city locations.}, type={Article}, title={Design and development of original WSN sensor for suspended particulate matter measurements}, URL={http://czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/115274/PDF/opelre_2019_27_4_363-368.pdf}, keywords={Air quality, Atmospheric measurements, Electronic circuits, Optoelectronic and photonic sensors}, }
