I have a PurpleAir Touch located in our main bedroom. I’ve noticed that when the outdoor air is clean, the windows are closed and a HEPA filter is running in the room the raw PM2.5 concentration reported by the device sits around 0 µg/m³. But the EPA corrected concentration hovers around 3.7 µg/m³. As a result, the AQI reported is almost never below 20.
I’m using the correction algorithm described in https://www.mdpi.com/1424-8220/22/24/9669.
Is this correction just not appropriate for use with the Touch?
