Low-cost air quality sensors and their application
Session ID#: 79020
Session Description:
Low-cost air quality sensors are creating a paradigm shift in the field of air quality monitoring. At a fraction of the cost of reference instruments, these sensors can be quickly deployed to characterize pollutant concentration variabilities at local scale. However, they also face many technical challenges mostly regarding data quality which are caused by interfering compounds, signal drift, temperature/humidity effects, etc.
This session invites submissions related to low-cost air quality sensors and their applications. Topics in this session are expected to cover cutting-edge sensor technologies and applications, such as
- Development and testing of next-generation sensors
- Field and laboratory-based sensor evaluations
- Innovative sensor calibration methods
- Deployment of low-cost sensors on mobile platforms (bicycles, drones, etc.)
- Application of air quality sensors relevant to remote sensing and health effect assessments
We invite abstracts covering any of these or related topics and especially encourage participation by student presenters.
