Cost-effective sensors have become popular for measuring ambient and indoor particulate matter concentration, but their data reliability is hindered by sensitivities to temperature and relative humidity, especially in mobile measurement setups. Quantile mapping is identified as a useful calibration methodology for mobile measurements, retaining spatial characteristics of the data, albeit without a common correction factor. A well-elaborated measurement plan is crucial for successful application of quantile mapping in mobile measurements.
Over the last decade, manufacturers have come forth with cost-effective sensors for measuring ambient and indoor particulate matter concentration. What these sensors make up for in cost efficiency, they lack in reliability of the measured data due to their sensitivities to temperature and relative humidity. These weaknesses are especially evident when it comes to portable or mobile measurement setups. In recent years many studies have been conducted to assess the possibilities and limitations of these sensors, however mostly restricted to stationary measurements. This study reviews the published literature until 2020 on cost-effective sensors, summarizes the recommendations of experts in the field based on their experiences, and outlines the quantile-mapping methodology to calibrate low-cost sensors in mobile applications. Compared to the commonly used linear regression method, quantile mapping retains the spatial characteristics of the measurements, although a common correction factor cannot be determined. We conclude that quantile mapping can be a useful calibration methodology for mobile measurements given a well-elaborated measurement plan assures providing the necessary data.
