The aim of the study was to build a corrective model that can be used in the analysed devices and to assess the impact of such a model on the values of the measured concentrations. The novelty of this study is the test of equivalence with the equivalent reference method for hourly data. The study used hourly data of PM₁₀ concentrations measured in a chosen city in Poland. Data was collected from two PM₁₀ sensors and a reference device placed in close proximity. In addition, air temperature, humidity and wind speed were also measured. Among the tested models, a linear model was selected that used primary measurements of PM₁₀, temperature, air velocity, and humidity as the most accurate approximation of the actual PM₁₀ concentration level. The results of the analysis showed that it is possible to build mathematical models that effectively convert PM₁₀ concentration data from tested low-cost electronic measuring devices to concentrations obtained by the reference method.

Celem badań było zbudowanie modelu korekcyjnego, który można zastosować w analizowanych urządzeniach oraz ocena wpływu takiego modelu na wartości mierzonych stężeń. Nowością w pracy jest test równoważności z równoważną metodą referencyjną dla danych godzinowych. W pracy wykorzystano dane godzinowe stężeń pyłu PM₁₀ zmierzonych w wybranym mieście w Polsce. Dane były zbierane z dwóch czujników PM₁₀ i urządzenia referencyjnego umieszczonych w bliskiej odległości. Dodatkowo mierzono również temperaturę powietrza, wilgotność i prędkość wiatru. Spośród testowanych modeli wybrano model liniowy, który wykorzystując pierwotne pomiary PM₁₀, temperatury, prędkości powietrza i wilgotności, najdokładniej przybliżał rzeczywisty poziom stężenia PM₁₀. Wyniki analizy wykazały, że możliwe jest zbudowanie modeli matematycznych, które skutecznie przeliczają dane o stężeniach PM₁₀ z badanych tanich elektronicznych urządzeń pomiarowych na stężenia uzyskane metodą referencyjną.
