Abstract
The 1st EuNetAir Air Quality Joint-Exercise Intercomparison organized in Aveiro (Portugal) from 13-27 October 2014 focused on the evaluation and assessment of environmental gas/PM and meteorology microsensors versus standardised air quality referenced methods through an experimental urban air quality monitoring campaign. The IDAD Air Quality Mobile Laboratory was placed at an urban traffic location in Aveiro city centre to conduct continuous measurements with standardized equipment and referenced analysers of the following variables: CO, NOx, O3, SO2, PM10, PM2.5, BTEX, temperature, humidity, wind velocity/direction, solar radiation and precipitation. The comparison of the sensor data generated by different sensor-systems installed side-by-side with reference analysers will contribute to assess behaviour and the accuracy of low-cost sensor-systems in the real-world context as indicative measurements as defined by the Ambient Air Quality EU Directive 2008/50/EC while it will help in their calibration and further development.
