ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to an ultra fine particle sensor (1) for sensing airborne particles with a diameter in a range of approximately 1-500 nm. The sensor comprises an air inlet (2) for entry of a flow of ultra fine particles and a concentration variation section (4) capable of causing a variation of the concentration of ultra fine particles between at least a first concentration level and a second concentration level during at least one time interval. A particle sensing section (5) is provided capable of producing a measurement signal (I) varying in dependence of said variation between said first concentration level and said second concentration level. An evaluation unit (6) is provided capable of deriving data relating to said ultra fine particles form said varying measurement signal. As a result of the applied variation in the concentration level, data can be obtained from the resulting variation of the measurement signal which relate to the length concentration and number concentration of airborne ultra fine particles per unit volume.
