TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted a comprehensive literature search including both the scientific and grey literature, and concluded that there is no clear answer to the question, due to a lack of: sensor/monitor manufacturers' quantitative specifications of performance, consensus regarding recommended end-use and associated minimal performance targets of these technologies, and the ability of the prospective users to formulate the requirements for their applications, or conditions of the intended use.

Field Evaluation of Low-Cost Particulate Matter Sensors for Measuring Wildfire Smoke.
Amara L. Holder,Anna K. Mebust,Lauren A. Maghran,Michael R. McGown,Kathleen E. Stewart,Dena M. Vallano,Robert A. Elleman,Kirk R. Baker +7 more
TL;DR: Low-cost sensors can fill in the large spatial gaps in monitoring networks near wildfires with mean absolute errors of less than 10 µg/m3 in the hourly PM2.5 concentrations when using a sensor-specific smoke correction equation.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present emissions measurements of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) for western U.S. 34 wildland fires made on the NSF/NCAR C-130 research aircraft during the Western Wildfire 35 Experiment for Cloud Chemistry, Aerosol Absorption, and Nitrogen (WE-CAN) field campaign.
Emissions of trace gases and aerosols during the open combustion of biomass in the laboratory - eScholarship
TL;DR: McMeeking et al. as mentioned in this paper studied the emissions of trace gases and aerosols during the open combustion of biomass in the laboratory of the University of Manchester in the UK and found that the amount of aerosols and gases emitted by open combustion was higher than that of a closed combustion.

Fully coupled “online” chemistry within the WRF model
Georg Grell,Steven E. Peckham,Rainer Schmitz,Stuart A. McKeen,Gregory J. Frost,William C. Skamarock,Brian Eder +6 more
TL;DR: The WRF/Chem model is statistically better skilled in forecasting O3 than MM5/Chem, with no appreciable differences between models in terms of bias with the observations, and consistently exhibits better skill at forecasting the O3 precursors CO and NOy at all of the surface sites.
