The IAQM has published a new Position Statement outlining their position on the use of low-cost sensor systems for PM10, in the vicinity of demolition and construction sites. It is designed to sit alongside the use of the IAQM guidance on Air Quality Monitoring in the Vicinity of Demolition and Construction Sites (2018).
The Position Statement sets out the IAQM’s views on the use of low-cost sensor systems for monitoring PM10 around construction sites and provides recommendations for their use. It also sets out the challenges around their use and relevant standards and limitations.
The IAQM issues Position Statements on matters that could affect the way in which Members carry out their professional tasks and on air quality topics and issues where the IAQM can provide a unique perspective from which to give a professional opinion.
