Low-cost air quality sensors: Key to data abundance?

Research output: Chapter in Book or Conference Publication/ProceedingConference Publicationpeer-review

Abstract

In recent years, the proliferation of low-cost air quality sensors on the consumer market provides an opportunity to significantly increase the quality of experimental data pertaining to air quality. However, the feasibility of using the sensors for scientific work is not well documented. The current study explores the suitability and reliability of using custom-made IAQ devices for obtaining large-scale measurements. The project involves assembling low-cost commercially available IAQ devices combined with an open-source microcontroller (i.e. Arduino and Raspberry Pi). These devices will then be compared with professional grade instruments and their feasibility assessed for use with in monitoring studies.
