determination of air pollution monitoring stations

Authors
abstract

swelling urban populations and increasing number of industry and especially automobiles in and around cities have resulted in adverse effect on human health. one of the most important things regarding air pollution in these days is that the number of motor vehicles has increased, and the resulting problems of new types of air pollution on large scale need to be emphasized in large cities.the groundwork for this study is based on collecte d data, specific studies regarding to use passive tube sampling techniques and geo-statistic mapping tools. the low cost and easy operation of the diffusive sampling technique makes it an ideal tool for large scale air pollution surveys with a high spatial resolution. finally, we used kriging method to draw air pollutions maps related to no2 and so2 measurements in shiraz city. these maps conducted us to find number of air pollution monitoring stations. results show that we need 2 traffic, 3 urban, 1 suburban and 1 industrial station in shiraz area.in fact, the proposed method in this study provides a useful tool that can be easily applied to other polluted cities. meanwhile, it would become effective as well as the actual time required to implement them.

China Air Pollution Study Based on Volunteer Monitoring Stations

Recent air pollution incidents in Chinese cities prompted this study, which makes use of air particulate monitoring information being submitted by volunteer-owned equipment to a public website. As an indicator of severe air pollution spikes, such as those seen in February 2014, the daily average readings for all monitoring locations were mapped and animated as a time series. Figure 1: China air...

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...

Air pollution exposure monitoring and estimating

This paper presents an integrated exposure monitoring system, based on an expansion of existing air quality monitoring systems using dispersion modelling. The system allows: (1) identifying geographical areas whose inhabitants are most exposed to ambient pollution; (2) identifying how many people in an area are exposed to concentrations of pollution exceeding air quality guidelines; (3) describ...

Participatory Air Pollution Monitoring Using Smartphones

Air quality monitoring is extremely important as air pollution has a direct impact on human health. In this paper we introduce a low-power and low-cost mobile sensing system for participatory air quality monitoring. In contrast to traditional stationary air pollution monitoring stations, we present the design, implementation, and evaluation of GasMobile, a small and portable measurement system ...
