Short summary
This study evaluates a remote calibration tool, referred to as MOment MAtching (MOMA), for calibrating PurpleAir PM2.5 sensors, especially for varying PM sources, and compares it with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) correction. MOMA improved the accuracy of PurpleAir sensor data comparable to the EPA correction. Although reliant on nearby reference sites, MOMA offers valuable insights into potential PM sources, thereby increasing the overall value of PurpleAir sensor networks.
