Best placement of indoor AirGradient One to demonstrate smoke from neighbour's chimney entering our room

Hello all,
I bought the indoor AirGradient One to try to demonstrate that the smoke from our neighbour’s new fireplace chimney is coming into our room.
We have a type C ventilation system that should suck in fresh air via ventilation grilles at the top of our Velux, but when the fireplace is on, it smells of smoke in our room.
I have now hung the AirGradient right next to the ventilation grille, which means that there is a relatively high air flow through the AirGradient itself, see image:

However, I am now wondering whether this high flow is not detrimental to the measurements?
And if so, where would be the best place to hang it?

Additional question, what are the parameters that I should keep an eye on for this specific case? I was thinking of PM2.5 and PM10 (or should I also look at PM1 and PM0.3?), CO2, NOx and VOC. Is that correct?

Thank you all in advance!
