Abstract
During the past decade, substantial efforts have been dedicated to advancing cost-effective sensor platforms for air quality monitoring. Calibration is a crucial step in ensuring that the data quality of low-cost air monitoring systems meets established standards. Recent research has extensively evaluated low-cost air monitoring platforms against the data quality objectives set by the European Directive. This paper introduces a novel calibration model for low-cost air quality sensors, significantly improving the accuracy of the measurement of nitric oxide (NO), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and particulate matter (PM1, PM2.5, and PM10), while promoting accessibility and adaptability in environmental monitoring technologies. This study extends the evaluation of a developed platform capable of integrating a diverse array of sensors to measure up to 12 parameters. Our proposed models demonstrate a significant improvement, achieving a 60% better accuracy for SO2. Additionally, these models deliver similar results for PMx and NO or exceed those of state of the art research. The calibration methodology meets the requirements of the Data Quality Objectives (DQO) for all monitored parameters and also achieves indicative levels for PM parameters.
