Invitation to AirGradient Education Webinar #2: How Accurate Is My Air Quality Monitor?

I would like to invite all forum members to our next webinar.

Low-cost air quality monitors are on the rise, promising to help us tackle air pollution and its severe consequences for human health and the planet. However, there are also critical voices raising concerns about their lower accuracy compared to standard scientific instrumentation. They point out that a thorough understanding of a sensor’s performance is needed to interpret its data sensibly which will then (hopefully) lead to successful air quality solutions.

We agree that a thorough performance evaluation is key. In line with our open data approach, we want to empower anyone interested to make their own judgment on how good or bad an air quality sensor works. Therefore, we have initiated our AirGradient Education Webinar series, providing you with the tools needed to better understand your monitor.

This time, we’re tackling:

  • Precision vs. Accuracy: What’s the difference and why does it matter for your data?
  • Quantifying Errors: How to figure out if your sensor’s readings are on target.
  • Setting Limits: What’s an acceptable amount of error in your air quality monitor?

Just as in our first webinar, Dr. Anika Krause will make sure that the concepts are easy to understand and accessible to everyone.
