Environmental monitoring has gained significant importance in outdoor air quality measurement and assessment for fundamental survival as well as ambient assisted living. In real-time outdoor urban scale, instantaneous air quality index estimation, the electrochemical sensors warm-up time, cross-sensitivity computation-error, geo-location typography, instantaneous capacity or back up time; and energy efficiency are the six major challenges. These challenges lead to real-time gradient anomalies that effect the accuracy and pro-longed lags in air quality index mapping campaigns for state and environmental/meteorological agencies. In this work, a gradient-aware, multi-variable air quality-sensing node is proposed with event-triggered sensing based on position, gas magnitudes, and cross-sensitivity interpolation. In this approach, temperature, humidity, pressure, geo-position, photovoltaic power, volatile organic compounds, particulate matter (2.5), ozone, Carbon mono-oxide, Nitrogen dioxide, and Sulphur dioxide are the principle variables. Results have shown that the proposed system optimized the real-time air quality monitoring for the chosen geo-spatial cluster (Qatar University).

Science Initiative

This chapter discusses the emergence of the Internet of Things, using a case study of a citizen science initiative, focusing in particular on issues involved in measuring air quality. The core of the citizen science initiative was formed by a world-wide network of early adaptors of the Internet of Things who, motivated by public health issues, set out to create widely available tools for air quality measuring. With these tools, they established a global, citizen-led, air quality measurement network. Besides highlighting a number of social and technological issues which are involve any such enterprise, this chapter engages with the discourse surrounding the use of IoT in collective sensing projects. Two questions are salient here. Firstly, can IoT technology be used in a citizen science context to monitor air quality? And secondly, does the construction of these devices lead to a successful mobilisation around issues of air quality?

The management of air quality at landfills has, among other things, the objective of controlling of waste management efficiency at the landfill. Modern landfills, although built in accordance with domestic and European regulations, affect the quality of the air in the areawherethey are located. The challenges faced by sanitary landfills are the safe disposal of waste, the possibility of waste recovery and environmental protection (air and wastewater pollution). This paper analyses the problems of air quality management at the location of the Brijesnicalandfill in Bijeljina and the assessment of the sanitary waste disposal method efficiency based on the analysis of the results of the air quality measurement at the landfill site.

<p>The aircraft measurement for air quality is able to fly in three dimensions within the planetary boundary layer of inland and sea. In this study, the Beechcraft B1900D was modified to build a unique aircraft measurement platform for the measurement of particulate matter and gas. This aircraft has a maximum takeoff weight of 7,765kg and this aircraft is loaded with various air quality measurement equipment. The contents of aircraft modification are as follows. The installed contents for air quality measurement are aircraft aerosol inlets, trace gas inlets, discharge tubes, AIMMS-30, and pylon adapter. The power supply of the measurement equipment replaced the generating capacity of starter generators from 300A to 400A (at DC 28V). In addition, this aircraft was installed on the time synchronization and network system of measurement equipment (HR-ToF-AMS, PTR-ToF-MS, CIMS, etc). Currently, the air quality scientists in Korea have been investigating on long-range transport or local large point sources.</p>
