A gaseous-fluid environmental sensor having a gaseous-fluid flow system. The gaseous-fluid flow system, in one construction, includes a blower to move the gaseous fluid from an intake port to an exhaust port via a flow path. The gaseous-fluid environmental sensor further includes a controller coupled to a particle count sensor. The controller determines whether the particle count sensor has a fault based on the particle count sensor not sensing a particle or a cosmic ray in a time period.

Environmental sensor and method of operating the same

An environmental sensor including an inlet and an outlet such that a flow of fluid moves from the inlet to the outlet, a particle detection portion to detect particles in the fluid, and a controller connected to the particle detection portion. The environmental sensor can be in communication with a data acquisition system (e.g., via a wireless access point) to form a particle counting system. Also disclosed are methods of operating the environmental sensor and methods of operating the particle detection system.
