Urban environments with a high degree of industrialization are infested hazardous chemicals and airborne pollutants. These pollutants can have devastating effects on human health, causing both acute chronic diseases such as respiratory infections, lung cancer, heart disease. Air pollution monitoring is vital not only to citizens, warning them the health risks air pollutants, but also policy-mak...

Air pollution is the world’s single largest environmental health risk factor. It responsible for an estimated 7 to 9 million deaths each year, of which more than 70% are due noncommunicable diseases (NCDs).1Lelieveld J. Evans J.S. Fnais M. Giannadaki D. Pozzer A.

the state of works of art exhibited inside museums can be strongly influenced by indoor air quality, due to chemical activity of gaseous pollutants and particulate matter. for that reason it is important to carry out periodic air quality controls to check if the concentration levels of air pollutants comply with the limits specified by the national laws. in this work we show results obtained in...

Asian countries are facing major air pollution problems due to rapid economic growth, urbanization and motorization. Mortality and respiratory diseases caused by air pollution are believed to be endemic in major cities of these countries. Regulations and standards are the first requirement for reducing emissions from both fixed and mobile sources. This paper emphasizes monitoring problems such ...

Detailed on-line measurements of city air quality are necessary to support compliance with air quality standards and emission strategy developments and to inform both policy makers and the general public in a timely manner. Current approaches to pollution monitoring, however, rely on very small numbers of stationary nodes. Providing detailed air quality information is a particularly hard challe...

Capillary wireless sensor networks devoted to air quality monitoring have provided vital information on dangerous air conditions. In adopting the environmentallygenerated energy as the fundamental energy source the main challenge is the implementation of capillary networks rather than replacing the batteries on a set period of times that leads to functional dilemma of devices management and hig...
