Insights about the Sources of PM<sub>2.5</sub> in an Urban Area from Measurements of a Low-Cost Sensor Network

PM<sub>2.5</sub> measurements using a network of lost-cost sensors were conducted during 2017–2019 in the greater area of Patras, Greece. The average PM<sub>2.5</sub> concentration in all sites during the study period was 9.4 μg m<sup>−3</sup>, varying from 6.2 μg...
