A substrate -like particle sensor (100) includes a substrate- like base portion (102) and an electronics enclosure (104) disposed on the substrate-like base portion (102). A power source (204) is located within the electronics enclosure (104). A controller (208) is operably coupled to the power source (104). A particle sensor (214) is operably coupled to the controller (208) and provides an indication to the controller (208) of at least one particle present near the particle sensor (214).
