Abstract
Low-cost sensors (LCS) are becoming popular with air quality stakeholders all over the world, including researchers, policymakers, and citizen scientists. They are increasingly being used in research where air quality data are sparse, such as in Africa. This featured commentary section showcases three thoughtful, considered efforts, where LCS devices are carefully evaluated against reference monitors and corrected to ensure high data quality.

期刊介绍：
Clean Air Journal is the official publication of the National Association for Clean Air, a not-for-profit organisation. Clean Air Journal is a peer-reviewed journal for those interested in air quality, air quality management, and the impacts of air pollution relevant to Africa. The focus of the journal includes, but is not limited to: Impacts of human activities and natural processes on ambient air quality Air quality and climate change linkages Air pollution mitigation technologies and applications Matters of public policy regarding air quality management Measurement and analysis of ambient and indoor air pollution Atmospheric modelling application and development Atmospheric emissions Other topics on atmospheric physics or chemistry with particular relevance to Africa The scope of the journal is broad, but the core theme of the journal is air quality in Africa.
