Abstract
As the global populace grows more and more urbanized, there is pressure on cities to remain livable. One of the main causes for concern for those in the vicinity is the improved quality of the air in the cities. Thus, to make a city intelligent and livable, it is important to regularly analyze its air quality index. Due to its detrimental effects on both the environment and human health, air pollution is currently a serious worldwide issue. Wireless sensor technology is one efficient means of tracking and managing air pollution. Air pollution monitoring wireless sensor networks rely on low-cost, low-power, multipurpose, small-sized sensors that can transmit data on air pollutants over the internet. This chapter begins by providing the background information on the air pollution monitoring and control system. It then delivers insights into the air quality monitoring techniques. A focus is on the state of use of cutting-edge, reasonably priced wireless sensor technology to monitor air quality and control in smart cities.
