Short summary
This study examines how sampling frequency influences the accuracy of low-cost particulate matter (PM) sensors. It finds that high sampling rates (15 s) are vital for detecting short pollution spikes like vehicle emissions, while lower rates (1 h) are enough for tracking long-term trends. Conducted in real-world outdoor conditions, the research offers practical guidance to balance energy use and data accuracy, supporting scalable, cost-effective air quality monitoring solutions.
