Arduair: Air Quality Monitoring

Air pollution and quality monitoring is extremely important in today’s world as it has a direct impact on human health. Air pollution is on the rise due to a number of anthropogenic activities and its monitoring is of vital importance to mitigate certain measures to control it. In this paper we put forward a low-cost and low-power sensor based system for air quality monitoring. This sensor base...

Monitoring the Quality of Air

Data envelopment analysis in service quality evaluation: an empirical study

Service quality is often conceptualized as the comparison between service expectations and the actual performance perceptions. It enhances customer satisfaction, decreases customer defection, and promotes customer loyalty. Substantial literature has examined the concept of service quality, its dimensions, and measurement methods. We introduce the perceived service quality index (PSQI) as a sing...

Semantic Data Layers in Air Quality Monitoring for Smarter Cities

Air pollution is one of the key indicators for quality of life in urban environments, and is also the subject of global health concern, given the number of mortal diseases associated to exposure to pollutants. Assessing and monitoring air quality is an important step in order to better understand the impact of pollution on the health of the population. Nevertheless, in order to scale to the cit...

Using Continuous Emission Monitoring Data for Air Quality Modeling Inventories

The Continuous Emission Monitoring (CEM) data have attracted interest for potentially providing improved point-source emissions data for air quality models. Through the CEM program, NOx and SO2 data have been collected on an hourly basis since 1995, but several features of the data must be addressed before they can be useful for air quality modeling. These features include the large volume of d...
