Abstract
An air filtration for detecting hazardous particles includes a housing having an air flow pathway extending therethrough. The housing is configured to receive air flow from an inlet of the housing and to expel air flow from an outlet of the housing. A pair of electrodes are positioned within the air flow pathway. A sensor system is operatively connected to the pair of electrodes to measure electrical current flowing therebetween. A processor is operatively connected to the sensor system to compare the measured electrical current with a stored baseline current. An alarm is operatively connected to the processor. The processor activates the alarm when the measured electrical current is different than the stored baseline current.
