Can commercial low-cost sensor platforms contribute to air quality monitoring and exposure estimates?

TLDR
An exhaustive evaluation of 24 identical units of a commercial low-cost sensor platform against CEN (European Standardization Organization) reference analyzers, evaluating their measurement capability over time and a range of environmental conditions shows that their performance varies spatially and temporally.

The use of electrochemical sensors for monitoring urban air quality in low-cost, high-density networks

TL;DR: It is shown that miniature, low-cost electrochemical gas sensors can, when suitably configured and operated, be used for parts-per-billion level studies for gases relevant to urban air quality, and that measurement networks with higher resolution are required to quantify air quality at the scales which are present in the urban environment.
