Short summary
The main source of measurement error from particulate matter PurpleAir sensors is relative humidity. Recent bias correction methods have not focused on the humid southeastern United States (US). To provide high-quality spatial and temporal data to inform community exposure in this area, our study developed and evaluated PurpleAir correction models for use in the warm–humid climate zones of the US. We found improved performance metrics, with error metrics decreasing by 16–23 % for our models.
