TL;DR: In this article , the authors present results from a 2-year deployment of 100 stationary electrochemical NO2 sensors across Greater London as part of the Breathe London pilot project (BL), and evaluated sensor performance using collocations with reference instruments, estimating ∼ 35 % average uncertainty (root mean square error) in the calibrated sensors, and identified infrequent, multi-week periods of poorer performance and high bias during summer months.
