The effect of humidity on a monitor response, when electrons and ions drift through air. Here a Honeywell PID is studied, which relies upon a very similar detection and charge collection mechanism as the . For typical environmental conditions of relative humidity between 40% and 60%, the signal, that is the output current, degrades by about \(\beta _{\mathrm{humidity}}\approx \)2/3 as a result of humidity.
