Abstract

Personal PM2.5 sensors (Atmotube Pro) were validated by comparison with reference monitors during colocation deployments and by testing in a chamber and apartment using representative indoor emission sources (cooking, dust, candle burning). Preliminary results from colocation deployments suggest correlations between personal sensors tend to range widely at the 1-min level and are moderately correlated with a reference monitor at the hourly average level. Personal PM2.5 sensors will be deployed to 50 participants for month-long periods four times over the next two years as part of an environmental justice research study in North Denver communities, and sensor performance will continue to be evaluated.
