AirQo sensor kit: A particulate matter air quality sensing kit custom designed for low-resource settings.

ABSTRACT: Air pollution remains a major public health risk. People living in urban spaces are among those most affected by exposure to unhealthy levels of air pollution. However, many urban spaces especially in low- and middle-income countries lack high resolution and long-term data on the state of air quality. Without high resolution air quality data on the different spaces in a city, citizens and authorities are unable to quantify the challenge and act. This is in part attributed to the high cost of air quality monitoring equipment that are expensive to set up, maintain and not designed for local operating conditions that characterise environments in such contexts. In this paper, we describe AirQo sensor kit, a low-cost sensing hardware system designed for and custom made to work in low-resource s
