· The emergence of sensors capable of measuring the gases and particles that make up air pollution, especially in cities and industrial areas, has driven many academic studies which evaluate the sensors and compare performance against reference methodology. Such projects provide valuable and thorough assessment, but they currently work slower than the pace of low cost sensor system …
NIWA provides ambient air quality monitoring services using low-cost ODIN (Outdoor Dust Information Node) sensors. ODIN sensors provide valuable insights into air quality ODINs are designed to be used in a network (typically 20 to 30 nodes) over an area impacted by high emissions of particulate matter. A typical network deployed for a minimum of a month is sufficient to
Low-cost Environmental Sensors. Our group has pioneered the development, and application of low-cost air quality sensors. Our focus has been on developing sensor packages that can measure particulate matter (PM), NOx and ozone (O3), and we have designed robust sensor packages for indoor, outdoor, and personal exposure monitoring.
low-cost remote sensors One of the issues surrounding the measurement of air quality in urbanised areas is the large variability in environments, and the low spatial resolution at which this occurs. For example, there could be a multi-lane highway adjacent to a large green space.

The PurpleAir is a small, inexpensive device for monitoring atmospheric concentrations of particulate matter. While state-of-the-art monitors approved by EPA to monitor particulate concentrations for compliance with national air quality standards can cost $10,000 and up, the PurpleAir costs around $260. In addition, EPA-approved monitors require regular maintenance and calibration to operate and …
· Low-cost sensors (LCS) are used to collect real-time air quality data providing high-resolution spatial and temporal air quality data. These type of sensors are the new trend in air quality monitoring and can support the conventional air quality monitoring stations to increase the density of the sensing network (Heimann et al. 2015 ; Van den Bossche et al. 2015 ; Viana et al. 2015 ).
Low-cost sensors are an opportunity to improve the spatial and temporal resolution of particulate matter data. However, such sensors should be calibrated under conditions close to the final ones before any monitoring actions. The paper presents the results of a collocated comparison of four models of low-cost optical sensors with a TEOM 1400a analyser.

quality of low-cost sensors is often questionable. It is affected by atmospheric conditions, pollutant concentration levels and therefore by the site location where the measurements are carried out. This report presents the collected results of quantitative studies of the performance of low-cost sensors against reference measurements. The information collected was an attempt to assess the ...
· Low-cost sensors have been proposed to stand alone or as complementary components of existing air quality monitoring regulatory networks, which measure air pollution concentrations.
With attention increasing regarding the level of air pollution in different metropolitan and industrial areas worldwide, interest in expanding the monitoring networks by low-cost air quality sensors is also increasing. Although the role of these small and affordable sensors is rather supplementary, determination of the measurement uncertainty is one of the main questions of their applicability ...
A growing number of companies started commercialising low-cost sensors (LCS) that are said to be able to monitor air pollution in outdoor air. One benefit of the use of LCS is the increased spatial coverage when monitoring air quality in cities and remote locations. Today, there are hundreds of LCSs commercially available on the market with a cost
· Published recently in the journal Sensors, their study tested four models of low-cost air quality monitors during actual wildfire pollution events and found that their readings of – or particulate matter under microns, which has been linked to respiratory and cardiovascular issues – were consistently higher than the reference monitor used by the regulatory agencies; however ...
Low-Cost Air Quality Sensors Background Over the last few years, a variety of low-cost air quality sensors have become commercially available and are being installed by individuals and communities throughout the state. They measure an assortment of pollutants, including particulates, gases and volatile organic compounds. Traditionally, the United States Environmental Protection Agency has ...
Hence, environmental monitoring stations are typically sparsely deployed, resulting in limited spatial resolution for measurements. Recently, low-cost air quality sensors have emerged as an alternative that can improve the granularity of monitoring.

· Low-cost air quality sensors are increasingly being used in many applications; however, many of their performance characteristics have not been adequately investigated. This study was conducted over a period of 13 months using low-cost air quality monitors, each comprising two low-cost sensors, which were subjected to a wide range of pollution sources and concentrations, relative humidity …
Low-cost air quality sensors are a relatively new technology that measure specific air pollutants, typically particulate matter and occasionally gaseous pollutants, and cost much less than traditional air quality monitors. In the United States, air quality has traditionally been measured according to a metrics established by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) using ...
Recently, low-cost air quality sensors have emerged as an alternative that can improve the granularity of monitoring. The use of low-cost air quality sensors, however, presents several challenges: They suffer from cross-sensitivities between different ambient pollutants; they can be affected by external factors, such as traffic, weather changes, and human behavior; and their accuracy degrades ...
Low-cost air pollution sensors are attracting more and more attention. They offer air pollution monitoring at a lower cost than conventional methods, in theory making air pollution monitoring possible in many more locations. Too good to be true? At the current stage of development, unfortunately we have to conclude yes. Measurements with low-cost sensors are often of lower and more questionable data quality …
