Application of low-cost sensor system to measure air quality on the university campus

The paper presents a method of using a low-cost sensor system for air quality measurement and data acquisition. The research area was the Campus of the Lublin University of Technology. The developed measuring system enables the monitoring and registration of the concentration of particulate matter (PM1.0, PM2.5, PM10), temperature, pressure, air humidity. Pollution measurement: PM1.0, PM2.5, PM10 is based on the light beam scattering method. The electricity consumption was measured and the maximum system operation time was determined. The results of measurements of PM2.5 and PM10 pollutants were compared with the data available from the local air quality measurement station.
