Indoor environments are characterized by several pollutant sources. As people typically spend more than 90% of their time in indoor environments. Thus, indoor air quality (iAQ) is recognized as an important factor to be controlled for the occupants’ health and comfort. The majority of the monitoring systems presently available is very expensive and only allow to collect random samples. This wor...

Systematic collection of long term mesoto large-scale datasets of ambient air quality provides an indispensible means for air pollution monitoring. However, the quality of these monitoring data depends on the chosen method of measurements and the QA/QC procedures applied. We present a consolidated screening tool for the automatic detection of outliers in large data volume air quality monitoring...

This paper proposes a real-time urban air quality forecasting method based on monitoring sites and Thiessen polygon. Firstly, the concentration of pollutants affecting air quality is obtained through the real-time observations of the monitoring sites deployed in wireless sensor network, according to which the air quality index (AQI) can be calculated and air quality levels and categories can be...

Air quality is one of the main priorities for the improvement of the life quality in urban regions, as air pollution is usually, concentrated in such densely populated areas. Most of the countries have a national air quality monitoring network that allow an analysis of the air quality status, especially for urban regions that are nodes in this network. As the network is geographically distribut...
