Over the past several years, the advancement of low-cost air quality monitoring technologies has expanded the scope and scale of air quality research and has provided new opportunities for municipalities and community-led organizations to actively monitor air quality in a manner independent of regulatory agencies. Largely scaled up by private manufacturers, low-cost sensor (LCS) accessibility for monitoring criteria pollutants enables access to near-real-time data for individuals and organizations seeking to create or expand public awareness, advocate for improved air quality, support emissions reductions plans, and identify air pollution sources and hot spots.
