Impact/Purpose:
Low cost air quality sensors have an unknown degree of performance characteristics. This research effort defined the performance of three common low cost sensors and the environmental parameters that influenced their performance.
Description:
Three commerically available low cost air quality sensors (TES, Plantower, AeroQual) were evaluated for their performance characteristics under ambient monitoring conditions. The sensors were collocated with reference-grade monitors to provide for a comparison of response. Data from the sensors were examined for a host of influences including environmental co-parameters (e.g, relative humdity, temperature). The agreement between the ow cost sensor response and reference monitors was established.
