Strengthening Air quality Sensor Evaluation in Kolkata

On 23 September, CSTEP signed an MoU with the Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology (IIEST), Shibpur, to establish the India Air Quality Sensor Evaluation and Training (Indi-SET) facility in Kolkata.

Expanding the Indi-SET facility to Kolkata will provide an opportunity to evaluate low-cost air quality sensor performance and generate high-quality collocation datasets under eastern India's distinctive environmental and meteorological conditions (marine influence and downwind of the Indo-Gangetic Plain).

This collaboration aims to develop a region-specific low-cost air quality sensor calibration model, which would benefit the broader sensor community in India.
