Many countries use low-cost sensors for high-resolution monitoring of particulate matter (PM and PM) to manage public health. To enhance the accuracy of low-cost sensors, studies have been conducted to calibrate them considering environmental variables. Previous studies have considered various variables to calibrate seasonal variations in the PM concentration but have limitations in properly accounting for seasonal variability. This study considered the meridian altitude to account for seasonal variations in the PM concentration. In the PM calibration, we considered the calibrated PM as a subset of PM. To validate the proposed methodology, we used the feedforward neural network, support vector machine, generalized additive model, and stepwise linear regression algorithms to analyze the results for different combinations of input variables. The inclusion of the meridian altitude enhanced the accuracy and explanatory power of the calibration model. For PM, the combination of relative humidity, temperature, and meridian altitude yielded the best performance, with an average R of 0.93 and root mean square error of 5.6 µg/m. For PM, the average mean absolute percentage error decreased from 27.41% to 18.55% when considering the meridian altitude and further decreased to 15.35% when calibrated PM was added.
许多国家使用低成本传感器对颗粒物(PM 和 PM)进行高分辨率监测以管理公共卫生。为提高低成本传感器的准确性,已开展研究以结合环境变量对其进行校准。先前的研究考虑了各种变量来校准 PM 浓度的季节性变化,但在正确考虑季节性变化方面存在局限性。本研究考虑了子午高度来解释 PM 浓度的季节性变化。在 PM 校准中,我们将校准后的 PM 视为 PM 的一个子集。为验证所提出的方法,我们使用前馈神经网络、支持向量机、广义相加模型和逐步线性回归算法来分析不同输入变量组合的结果。纳入子午高度提高了校准模型的准确性和解释力。对于 PM,相对湿度、温度和子午高度的组合表现最佳,平均 R 为 0.93,均方根误差为 5.6 µg/m。对于 PM,考虑子午高度时平均平均绝对百分比误差从 27.41%降至 18.55%,添加校准后的 PM 后进一步降至 15.35%。
