Performance validation and calibration conditions for novel dynamic baseline tracking air sensors in long-term field monitoring by H. Mei, P. Wei, M. A. Ghadikolaei, N. K. Gali, Y. Wang, Z. Ning

“…The tests, which involved evaluating the validation performance by analysing randomly selected calibration sample subsets ranging from 1–15 d, indicated that the length of the calibration period, pollutant concentration range and time-averaging period are pivotal for sensor calibration quality. We determined that a 5–7 d calibration period minimizes calibration coefficient errors, and a wider concentration range improves the validation <span class="inline-formula"><i>R</i>²</span> values for all sensors, suggesting the necessity of setting specific concentration range thresholds. …”
