Adding virtual measuring stations to a network for urban air pollution mapping.

Artificial neural network forecast application for fine particulate matter concentration using meteorological data

Most parts of the urban areas are faced with the problem of floating fine particulate matter. Therefore, it is crucial to estimate the amounts of fine particulate matter concentrations through the urban atmosphere. In this research, an artificial neural network technique was utilized to model the PM2.5 dispersion in Tehran City. Factors which are influencing the predicted value consi...

Urban air pollution monitoring and correlation properties between fixed-site stations.

The rich regional air-monitoring network of the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy has been used to quantify the spatial variability of the main pollutants within urban environments and to analyze the correlations between stations. The spatial variability of the concentrations of the majority of pollutants within the city was very high, making it difficult to differentiate and characterize the urba...

Satellite data for air pollution mapping over a city – Virtual stations

A Microcontroller Based Carbon Monoxide Monitoring and Mapping System Using GPS Technology

Air pollution is a major factor of consideration in the evaluation of quality of life and as an environmental issue in urban areas. Among urban air pollutants carbon monoxide (CO) is one of the most prevalent. Information about its concentrations is vital in the determination of urban air pollution. In this paper, an automatic and cost effective prototype for CO monitoring and mapping is presen...

Risk management in air protection in the Republic of Croatia.

In the Republic of Croatia, according to the Air Protection Act, air pollution assessment is obligatory on the whole State territory. For individual regions and populated areas in the State a network has been established for permanent air quality monitoring. The State network consists of stations for measuring background pollution, regional and cross-border remote transfer and measurements as p...
