Response time
Definition
A sensor may be quick or slow to detect changing pollutant concentrations in the air. A sensor that responds quickly (i.e., high time resolution) may be useful for mobile monitoring and observing very rapid (e.g., seconds to minutes) changes in pollutant concentrations at fixed sites (such as near roadways with heavy traffic),
Definition and Description
Time resolution in the context of air quality sensors pertains to the sensor’s ability to promptly detect fluctuations in pollutant concentrations in the air. Sensors with high time resolution exhibit rapid responsiveness and are valuable for tasks such as mobile monitoring or capturing swift changes in pollutant levels that occur within seconds to minutes. These sensors are especially beneficial when stationed at fixed locations, such as near busy roadways, where monitoring fast-changing air quality conditions is essential.
