Assessing the sources of particles at an urban background site using both regulatory instruments and low-cost sensors - a comparative study
in Atmospheric Measurement Techniques
| Description | This project highlights the current capability of low-cost sensors in source identification and differentiation using clustering approaches. Future directions towards particulate matter source apportionment using low cost optical particle counters are highlighted. |
| Exploitation Route | Commercialization of the algorithms could be attempted. Regulatory monitoring and source apportionment of atmospheric pollutants can now be improved. |
