    The concentration of inhalable particle is an important indicator in atmospheric environment monitor. Based on Mie scattering extinction, a precise testing instrument which can measure the concentration of inhalable particles at the atmospheric was designed by three-wavelength method in combination with the algorithm of distributed function. The dependence of extinction index on the spectrum was calculated based on Mie scattering theory in this article. Furthermore, the signal of time domain is integrated in the data processing to reduce the effect of error caused by multi-peak of spectra. The PM2.5 and PM10 were collected simultaneously in particle selection. Three different wave-lengths of lasers were coupled into an optical fiber by coupler (3in1) and passed through the sample cell. The attenuated light was detected by a PIN. Output of the detector was converted, amplified, displayed and stored by electronic system. Finally, the data were transmitted and shared in network through the 3G wireless module. The average particle size and concentration of inhalable particles were measured by this device at the same time. The technical specifications of the detector were verified by experiment, the experimental results indicate that the detection sensitivity of the system is 0.01 μg·m-3, the responsive time of system is approximately 90 s and it is suitable for measuring particulate matter concentrations of atmosphere.
