Nowadays, air pollution has become one of serious problems in Taiwan. Compared with outdoors, indoors due to relatively small in space, may contain higher concentration of particulate matters (PM). In addition to the size of space factor, the humidity of indoors and outdoors may also play an import role on the concentration of PM. Therefore, we conducted this research to analyze the effect of indoor and outdoor humidity on the concentration of PM. We calculated the difference between indoor and outdoor humidity, and converted it into a line graph with the concentration of indoor PM2.5. And then we inferred that PM2.5 is definitely related to the difference between indoor and outdoor humidity and the concentration of indoor PM2.5. As mentioned above, we can not only learn about the connection between water and PM2.5, but also realize that water causes the deviation to the machine but it helps reduce PM2.5.
