‘Real-time’ air quality channels: A technology review of emerging environmental alert systems

چکیده
Poor air quality is a pressing global challenge contributing to adverse health impacts around the world. In past decade, there has been rapid proliferation of information delivered via sensors, apps, websites or other media channels in near real-time and at increasingly localized geographic scales. This paper explores growing emphasis on self-monitoring digital platforms supply informational interventions for reducing pollution exposures improving outcomes individual level. It presents technological case study that characterizes emerging communication mechanisms, ‘AQ channels’, while drawing upon examples throughout literature. The questions are posed: which ‘freely’ available individuals London, UK, when where they accessed? Digital trace data metadata associated with 54 synthesized narratively graphically. Results reveal derive estimates using common sources, display disparate messaging, adopt variable scales reporting ‘readings’ maintain psychosocial barriers access adoption exposure-reducing behaviours. results also point clear association between publication high-profile news article about increased channel access. These findings illuminate need greater transparency how generate personalized exposure tailor messaging. concludes by calling developers exercise co-creative methods can support sustainable, democratic knowledge production quality, critically approaching disproportionate patterns both exposure.

TITLE : Near Real Time Air Quality Mapping
This presentation will discuss the efforts of the Utah Division of Air Quality (DAQ) and the Utah Automated Geographic Reference Center (AGRC) to provide public "near real time" air quality maps utilizing ArcIMS and ArcSDE. DAQ currently operates approximately 30 air quality monitoring stations in Utah's urban areas that collect data on a variety of air pollutants. Through a U.S. EPA EMPACT Gra...
متن کاملA Comprehensive Real-Time Indoor Air-Quality Level Indicator
The growing concern about Indoor Air-Quality has accelerated the development of small, low-cost air-quality monitoring systems. These systems are capable of monitoring various indoor air pollutants in real time, notifying users about the current air-quality status and gathering the information to the central server. However, most Internet of Things (IoT)-based air-quality monitoring systems num...
