摘要

Low-cost sensors offer the possibility to gain more insight into personal exposure. Compared to traditional methods, sensors provide more high resolution data in space and time. However, there is a gap in understanding how these devices perform and how they can be applied for actual prevention. The overall aim of this study was to examine the accuracy and precision of low-cost sensors for particulate matter (PM) and noise and to study their field application. Two different low-cost PM (OPC-N2, Alphasense; SDL607, Nova Fitness) and two low-cost noise sensors (Rion NL-27; Noise Sentry) were compared (concordance correlation coefficient (ccc)) to reference devices and relatively calibrated. Next, the low-cost sensors were deployed to measure personal exposure of construction, roadside and desk workers. In addition, observations and questionnaires were used to obtain contextual information. The OPC-N2 was strongly correlated for PM2.5 (average ccc=0.78) while the SDL607 (data per 5 minutes) showed moderate correlations (average ccc=0.43) compared to a reference device. The field measurement demonstrated that construction workers had the highest exposure of PM2.5 (N=5, median=13.68 μg/m3) compared to roadside (N=6, median=2.19 μg/m3) and desk workers (N=4, median=0.09 μg/m3). Average noise exposure varied between 62-79 dB and 74-87 dB for the Rion NL-27 and Noise Sentry, respectively. Furthermore, peaks in exposure for noise and PM 2.5 could be explained based on contextual information. In conclusion, the tested PM2.5 and noise sensors showed rather accurate and precise results at least within sensor types, which could subsequently be used for real time prevention of high exposures. These sensor results highlight their importance of sensor technology as a promising tool with respect to the exposome concept aiming to measure the totality of a person's lifetime exposure.
