A Guide to Accurate Particulate Matter Measurements with Air Sensors
Learn how USEPA performance protocols help ensure accurate air sensor data
Air sensors are increasingly recognized as a valuable tool for indicative and non-regulatory supplemental and informational monitoring (NSIM). To support a broader understanding and more effective use of this technology, the USEPA recently released performance standards for air sensors will help to better characterize the performance of commercially available air sensors in a clear and standardized way. This guide provides more information on these performance metrics and best practices for collecting accurate data with low-cost sensors.
This guide will help you understand:
- What challenges currently exist for the broader use of low-cost sensors?
- How can low-cost sensor performance be objectively evaluated?
- What performance standards are in place for low-cost sensors, and what do they mean for networks employing these technologies?
- What role does calibration play in optimizing low-cost sensor performance?
- How can low-cost sensors be used effectively for non-regulatory supplemental and informational monitoring?

Learn more about our Remote Calibration
Clarity’s Remote Calibration model ensures that decision-making is based on accurate data that is calibrated for the unique conditions of the monitoring site, while also reducing the operational costs of the traditional calibration process. Remote Calibration allows for ongoing data calibration over the course of a monitoring project, keeping accurate data a long-term priority.
