Our sds011 sensor measures pm25 and calculates pm10 only, true?
#49

Why not show pm25 by default, visitors could change to pm10 scale if they want? Now, the scale isn't labelled correctly (neither pm 25 nor 10?).
PM25 values are better for clean air, the limits are harder: EU 25μg, WHO 10 μg. Experts report in the news, that pm problem is solved, instead of Stuttgart…
Should we give both limits, as requested earlier in #35? and we should distinguish annual mean (WHO: 25μg) and 24-h (WHO: 10μg), as mentioned in #5 (comment) by @Avsamoht.

recent interview at DLF: Umweltmedizinerin: Umleitungsverkehr ist kontraproduktiv

Viel gravierender ist allerdings noch der Unterschied, den wir in unseren Grenzwerten haben für den kleinen Feinstaub. Das ist das PM 2,5. Der liegt zurzeit bei uns bei 25 Mikrogramm, die WHO empfiehlt seit 2005, dass der Wert unterhalb von 10 Mikrogramm liegen sollte, und da sind wir ja offensichtlich noch weit von entfernt. Es ist insofern auch sehr gravierend, weil Feinstaub pro Mikrogramm noch eine deutlich stärkere Wirkung hat als zum Beispiel NO2.
