Numerical and experimental investigation on the performance of a ventilated chamber for low-cost PM sensor calibration

Huang Zhang et al.

Summary: This study describes a modeling and experimental study of chambers used for calibration of PM sensors, including experimental setup, calibration results, and CFD model predictions. Through the use of a CFD model, operating conditions that result in uniform concentrations were established. The research demonstrates that numerical modeling can be used to understand the performance of a calibration chamber and optimize its design.

On-field test and data calibration of a low-cost sensor for fine particles exposure assessment

Yixuan Jiang et al.

Summary: This study assessed the performance of a newly developed low-cost optical PM sensor and developed post-hoc data calibration methods to optimize data quality. Strong correlations and relatively small standard deviations were found between sensors in laboratory and field sampling. After calibration, the ratios of sensor measurements over that of reference methods converged.
