Citizen-operated low-cost sensors for estimating outdoor particulate matter infiltration
Fine particulates observed indoors exhibit high variability, influenced by both indoor emission sources and the infiltration of outdoor particles through open spaces and the incomplete building insulation. This study examines the relationship between indoor and outdoor PM2.5 levels in Legionowo, Poland, using data from low-cost air quality sensors operated by citizens. The indoor PM2.5 was lower than outdoor levels (median PM2.5: 1.9–17.3 μg m–3 indoors and 6.7–27.9 μg m–3 outdoors), with occasional peaks attributed to potential indoor emission sources. Statistical analysis identified emission events—particularly during cooking and household-heating periods—occurring more frequently from October to April. During this period, nearly 17% of indoor PM2.5 measurements were attributed to indoor emission sources after 18:00 LT, representing a 7% increase compared to the May–September period. In the absence of indoor sources, outdoor particles accounted for 29% to 75% of indoor concentrations, highlighting the significance of infiltration. This research emphasizes how citizen-generated data using low-cost sensors, after post-processing, can provide decision-ready information as for example outdoor particles’ infiltration factors for each building. The knowledge of the infiltration factor enables the determination of the contribution of indoor and outdoor sources to each resident’s exposure to airborne PM. This information can help decision-makers in devising interventions such as prioritizing indoor ventilation, reducing indoor activities resulting in increased exposure, and addressing outdoor pollution sources.
期刊介绍:
Air Quality, Atmosphere, and Health is a multidisciplinary journal which, by its very name, illustrates the broad range of work it publishes and which focuses on atmospheric consequences of human activities and their implications for human and ecological health.
It offers research papers, critical literature reviews and commentaries, as well as special issues devoted to topical subjects or themes.
International in scope, the journal presents papers that inform and stimulate a global readership, as the topic addressed are global in their import. Consequently, we do not encourage submission of papers involving local data that relate to local problems. Unless they demonstrate wide applicability, these are better submitted to national or regional journals.
Air Quality, Atmosphere & Health addresses such topics as acid precipitation; airborne particulate matter; air quality monitoring and management; exposure assessment; risk assessment; indoor air quality; atmospheric chemistry; atmospheric modeling and prediction; air pollution climatology; climate change and air quality; air pollution measurement; atmospheric impact assessment; forest-fire emissions; atmospheric science; greenhouse gases; health and ecological effects; clean air technology; regional and global change and satellite measurements.
This journal benefits a diverse audience of researchers, public health officials and policy makers addressing problems that call for solutions based in evidence from atmospheric and exposure assessment scientists, epidemiologists, and risk assessors. Publication in the journal affords the opportunity to reach beyond defined disciplinary niches to this broader readership.
