The utilization of portable, low-cost sensors in comparison to bulkier, more traditional methods of air pollution monitoring (i.e., regulatory or research-grade instruments) allows for finer spatial coverage of air pollutant concentrations. In this data set, we capture fine particulate matter (PM2.5) concentrations in six locations in both Minneapolis, MN. and Atlanta, GA. between Oct. 2016 and April 2018.

Key Highlights
  • 1. PM2.5, relative humidity, and temperature data from six locations in Minneapolis and Atlanta using low-cost PM sensors.

  • 2. All parameters data is calibrated by co-location with a regulatory-grade instrument.
