Particulate Matter Profiles along the Rack Railway Route Using Low-Cost Sensor

Low cost air quality monitors to evaluate nanosized particulate matter. A pilot study

Particulate matter is defined as a mixture of airborne solid particles and liquid droplets that can be inhaled and may cause serious health problems. Such elements are currently measured utilizing air quality monitoring devices that provide information on PM 10 and PM 2.5 levels giving information on pollution levels. However, many difficulties are encountered in the determination of nanosized ...

Laboratory Evaluation of the Shinyei PPD42NS Low-Cost Particulate Matter Sensor

OBJECTIVE Finely resolved PM2.5 exposure measurements at the level of individual participants or over a targeted geographic area can be challenging due to the cost, size and weight of the monitoring equipment. We propose re-purposing the low-cost, portable and lightweight Shinyei PPD42NS particle counter as a particle counting device. Previous field deployment of this sensor suggests that it ca...

Correction: Laboratory Evaluation of the Shinyei PPD42NS Low-Cost Particulate Matter Sensor

The y-axis label for Fig 5 incorrectly states mean rather than difference. The correct y-axis is " Difference of Shinyei and APS Mass (μg/m 3) ".

Distributed, Low-cost Particulate Matter Sensing: Scenarios, Challenges, Approaches

The observation and control of particulate matter (PM) pollution in ambient air is increasingly being recognized as an important topic in societies across the globe. Classic measurement approaches provide accurate daily means but are static, expensive and suffer from low spatial resolution and high latency. Distributed measurement grids using real-time capable instrumentation not only can provi...
