Towards comprehensive air quality management using low-cost sensors for pollution source apportionment
in npj Climate and Atmospheric Science
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. |
