The invention discloses a particulate matter mass concentration detection device applied to atmosphere suspended particulate matters, and a method thereof. The particulate matter mass concentration detection device is composed of a particulate matter sampling unit, a particulate matter measuring sensor, and a signal processing unit; the particulate matter sampling unit comprises air pumps, a particulate cutting head, a high-efficiency gas filter, a gas flowmeter, gas conduits, and a sampling power supply; the particulate matter measuring sensor comprises a multichannel particulate measuring part, a high-stability laser, an optically trap, a sheath gas unit, a metal capillary, optical lenses, and high-performance photoelectric detectors; and the signal processing unit comprises a signal conditioning circuit, a data acquisition card, a computer, and a signal power source. The particulate matter mass concentration detection device is reasonable in design; manufacturing and installation are convenient; and measuring optical path pollution caused by particulate matters is not caused. The signal processing unit is simple in structure, and excellent in performance; and data processing and reading are both convenient to realize. The measured particulate matter mass concentration dynamic performance is excellent; precision is high; and linearity is high.
