Utilizing a Low-Cost Air Quality Sensor: Assessing Air Pollutant Concentrations and Risks Using Low-Cost Sensors in Selangor, Malaysia
This study delves into nocturnal air quality, focusing on carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), surface ozone (O3), and particulate matter (PM2.5), in contrasting areas of Banting, Selangor: the rural-industrial Olak Lempit and the rural Bukit Changgang. Employing AiRBOXSense, a rigorously c...
