#' @title Load hourly-aggregated PurpleAir data for a month
#' 
#' @description A pre-generated \code{airsensor} object will be loaded for
#' the given month. Archived data for SCAQMD sensors go back to January, 2018.
#' 
#' The \code{datestamp} can must be in the following format:
#' 
#' \itemize{
#' \item{\code{"YYYYmm"}}
#' }
#' 
#' By default, the current month is loaded.
#'
#' Each \code{airsensor} object contains data from a named collection of 
#' PurpleAir sensors.
#' 
#' @param collection Name associated with the collection.
#' @param datestamp A date string in ymd order.
#' @param timezone Timezone used to interpret \code{datestamp}.
#' 
#' @return An object of class "pa_timeseries".
