Findings from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s 2013 Air Sensors Workshop are summarized in two issues (January and August 2014) to help define the current state of the science in the research and development of air pollution sensors for measuring air quality. In this issue of EM, you will find four articles present emerging sensor technologies, data challenges and solutions, performance characteristics, and sensor calibration options.
