An apparatus (600′) for in real time detecting biological particles and non-biological particles in the atmosphere, the apparatus (600′) comprising:

• a first impactor (201) adapted to sort the biological particles and non-biological particles supplied from the outside to discharge the biological particles and non-biological particles having diameters larger than a first particle diameter to the outside and to supply the biological particles and non-biological particles having diameters smaller than the first particle diameter to a second impactor (202);
• the second impactor (202) adapted to sort the biological particles and non-biological particles supplied from the first impactor (201) to supply the biological particles and non-biological particles having diameters larger than a second particle diameter to a first charger (301) and to supply the biological particles and non-biological particles having diameters smaller than the second particle diameter to a third impactor (203);
• the third impactor (203) adapted to sort the biological particles and non-biological particles supplied from the second impactor (202) to, supply the biological particles and non-biological particles having diameters larger than a third particle diameter to a second charger (302) and to supply the biological particles and non-biological particles having diameters smaller than the second particle diameter to a third charger (303);
• the first charger (301) adapted to charge the biological particles and non-biological particles sorted by means of the second impactor (202) to specific charge (positive or negative charge);
• the second charger (302) and the third charger (303) adapted to charge the biological particles and non-biological particles sorted by means of the third impactor (203) to specific charge (positive or negative charge);
• a first separator (401) adapted to introduce the biological particles and non-biological particles charged by the first charger (301) thereinto and to sort the biological particles and non-biological particles charged to different charge quantities from each other by using predetermined air flow and electric force;
• a second separator (402) adapted to introduce the biological particles and non-biological particles charged by the second charger (302) thereinto and to sort the biological particles and non-biological particles charged to different charge quantities from each other by using predetermined air flow and electric force;
• a third separator (403) adapted to introduce the biological particles and non-biological particles charged by the third charger (303) thereinto and to sort the biological particles and non-biological particles charged to different charge quantities from each other by using predetermined air flow and electric force;
• and
• first, second and third particle measurement sensors (501, 502 and 503) mounted on outlets each discharging the biological particles and non-biological particles sorted through the first separator (401), the second separator (402) and the third separator (403) therefrom so as to measure the concentrations of the particles discharged from the outlets,
• wherein each of the first separator (401), the second separator (402) and the third separator (403) comprises:
• a compressed air inlet (410) formed on one end of a flow pipe (440) to introduce the compressed air supplied from the compressed air supplier (110) thereinto;
• a particle inlet (420) formed on one end of the flow pipe (440) to introduce the charged biological particles and non-biological particles thereinto;
• a first outlet (431) and the second outlet (432) formed on the other end of the flow pipe (440) in such a manner as to be opposed to each other in a perpendicular direction with respect to the longitudinal direction of the flow pipe (440), and formed so that the charged biological particles and the charged non-biological particles can be separately discharged;
• the flow pipe (440) having one end on which the compressed air inlet (410) and the particle inlet (420) are formed and the other end on which the first outlet (431) and the second outlet (432) are formed and a flow path (441) formed therein to allow the biological particles and the non-biological particles to flow therealong;
• and
• a first charged electrode plate (451) and a second charged electrode plate (452) disposed on the side periphery of the flow pipe (440) in, such a manner as to be opposed to each other and charged to different polarities from each, other.
