“…The sensor also integrated a Sensirion SPS30 particulate matter (PM) sensor (Sensirion AG, Stafa, Switzerland). The module reports at a 1 s interval values of PM1.0, PM2.5, PM4.0, and PM10, as well as number concentration bins of 0.3–0.5

m. Unfortunately, it has been found that the PM4 and PM10 data are extrapolated from the the distribution of all of the particles [ 56 , 57 , 58 ]. The larger size bins are estimated because the number of particles in those bins is small and would lead to large variation in the reported values since only a few particles had been counted based on the volume of air sampled.…”

Measurements of the vertical structure of the lower atmosphere are important to the understanding of air quality. Unmanned Aerial Systems (UASs, drones) can provide low cost, repeatable measurements of the temperature, pressure, and relative humidity. A set of inexpensive sensors controlled with an Arduino microprocessor board were tested on a UAS against a meteorology grade sensor. Two modes of operation for sampling were tested: a forward moving sampler and a vertical ascent sampler. A small particle sensor (Sensiron SPS30) was integrated and was capable of retrieving vertical aerosol distributions during an inversion event. The thermocouple-based temperature probe and the relative humidity measurement on the Bosch BME280 sensor correlated well with the meteorological sensor. The temperature and relative humidity sensors were then deployed on a rocket sounding platform. The rocket sounding system performed well up to a height of 400 m. The inexpensive sensors were found to perform adequately for low-cost development and uses in education and research.
