What about outdoor pm2.5?

I live in an area prone to frequent fog for many months out of the year.

I learned that the fog will thoroughly disrupt the accuracy of pm2.5 sensors.

After some research I found that running the air through a heated pitot or similar before taking a measurement will almost entirely correct this for somewhat obvious reasons; the fog is evaporated.

As far as I can tell, none of the mid to high range weather stations have such a system and they will all be corrupted by a sight fog.

I’ve resigned myself to making one… Does such a sensor even exist?
