Temtop M100 for Haze Monitoring Malaysia PM2.5, PM10, CO and AQI Monitor
Temtop M100 for Haze Monitoring Malaysia 鈥 PM2.5, PM10, CO鈧 and AQI Monitor
Introduction
During haze season in Malaysia, many people check outdoor air quality information to understand regional conditions. However, outdoor readings do not necessarily show what is happening inside a particular office, classroom, commercial building, or home.
Indoor particulate levels can vary depending on building ventilation, filtration, open doors and windows, occupancy, and the amount of outdoor air entering the building.
The Temtop M100 Air Quality Monitor provides real-time monitoring of PM2.5, PM10, CO鈧 and AQI, making it a practical instrument for indoor environmental monitoring during haze periods in Malaysia.
Why Monitor Indoor Air During Haze?
People often assume that staying indoors automatically means that indoor air is unaffected by outdoor haze.
In reality, outdoor particles may enter buildings through:
Doors and windows
Ventilation systems
Building entrances
Air leakage
Loading areas
Frequent movement of people
Fresh-air intake systems
The actual indoor conditions depend on the building.
This is why direct indoor measurement can be useful during haze periods.
Why Is PM2.5 Important During Haze?
PM2.5 refers to fine particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of 2.5 micrometres or smaller.
These fine particles can remain suspended in air and may travel between outdoor and indoor environments.
Monitoring PM2.5 allows users to observe how indoor particulate conditions change as outdoor haze conditions vary.
Why Monitor PM10 Too?
PM10 refers to particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of 10 micrometres or smaller.
While haze discussions frequently focus on PM2.5, PM10 can provide additional information about larger airborne particles originating from sources such as:
Road dust
Construction
Renovation
Building maintenance
Warehouse activities
General indoor dust
Monitoring both PM2.5 and PM10 gives users a broader picture of airborne particulate conditions.
What Does the Temtop M100 Monitor?
The Temtop M100 provides monitoring of:
CO鈧
PM2.5
PM10
AQI
This combination makes the instrument useful for both haze-related particulate monitoring and routine indoor environmental assessments.
Why CO鈧 Matters During Haze
During haze periods, building operators may adjust doors, windows, ventilation, or air-conditioning practices in an effort to reduce outdoor particle infiltration.
However, occupied indoor spaces still require appropriate ventilation management.
This makes CO鈧 monitoring useful alongside PM2.5 and PM10.
For example, a facility manager may want to understand:
What happens to PM2.5 when outdoor air conditions worsen?
How does CO鈧 change when a meeting room is occupied?
Are some classrooms performing differently from others?
How do indoor conditions change after HVAC adjustments?
The Temtop M100 allows users to observe particulate and CO鈧 conditions using one instrument.
Temtop M100 for Schools During Haze
Schools are a strong application for the M100.
Potential monitoring areas include:
Classrooms
Libraries
Computer rooms
Staff rooms
Administration offices
Indoor halls
Meeting rooms
During haze periods, schools can monitor PM2.5 and PM10.
During normal occupancy, CO鈧 monitoring can provide additional information about classroom ventilation conditions.
Temtop M100 for Offices During Haze
Office buildings may use the M100 in:
Open-plan offices
Meeting rooms
Training rooms
Reception areas
Management offices
Staff facilities
Meeting rooms are particularly useful locations for combined CO鈧 + PM2.5 monitoring because both occupancy and ventilation conditions can change significantly during the day.
Temtop M100 for Public Buildings
The M100 may also be considered for:
Government offices
Libraries
Community facilities
Universities
Training centres
Commercial buildings
Public waiting areas
Portable monitoring allows facility teams to compare environmental conditions across different areas.
Indoor vs Outdoor Monitoring
One useful haze monitoring approach is to compare environmental conditions at representative locations.
For example:
Record indoor PM2.5.
Review outdoor air quality conditions.
Compare different indoor rooms.
Repeat measurements throughout the day.
Observe changes after HVAC or filtration adjustments.
Maintain records for future comparison.
This provides more useful information than relying on a single measurement.
Can the Temtop M100 Replace Official Air Quality Monitoring?
No.
Portable air quality monitors are useful for local environmental monitoring and screening, but they should not be treated as replacements for official regulatory or government air quality monitoring networks.
Official outdoor air quality information should remain an important reference during haze events.
The M100 provides additional information about conditions in the user's immediate environment.
Temtop M100 vs M10 for Haze Monitoring
Both models can monitor PM2.5 and CO鈧, but their strengths differ.

For customers primarily concerned about PM2.5 + PM10 + CO鈧 + AQI during haze, the M100 is the more directly focused option.
For users who prioritise smart app connectivity and broader indoor environmental parameters, the M10 may be more suitable.
Temtop M100 vs M2000 2nd for Haze Monitoring
The M100 provides a straightforward combination of:
CO鈧 + PM2.5 + PM10 + AQI
The M2000 2nd provides a broader professional IAQ monitoring combination including:
CO鈧 + PM2.5 + PM10 + HCHO + Temperature + Humidity
Therefore:
Routine Haze + CO鈧 Monitoring

A Practical Haze Monitoring Programme
Organisations can consider the following process:
Establish baseline indoor readings.
Monitor PM2.5 and PM10 when haze develops.
Compare different indoor locations.
Monitor CO鈧 in occupied rooms.
Review ventilation and filtration operation.
Repeat measurements after operational changes.
Maintain historical records.
Compare conditions during and after haze periods.
The objective is to understand environmental trends rather than react to a single reading.
Who Should Consider the Temtop M100?
The Temtop M100 is suitable for users looking for a practical air quality monitor for:
Haze monitoring
Classroom monitoring
Office IAQ monitoring
CO鈧 monitoring
PM2.5 monitoring
PM10 monitoring
AQI monitoring
Public building inspections
Routine environmental assessments
