Еnvironmental wireless sensor monitoring and estimation of green infrastructure location impact on particulate matter reduction for improved air quality

Abstract

Low quality of the air is becoming a major concern in urban areas. High values of particulate matter (PM) concentrations and various pollutants may be very dangerous for the human health and the global environment. The challenge to overcome the problem with the air quality includes efforts to improve healthy air not only by reducing emissions, but also by modifying the urban morphology to reduce the exposure of the population to air pollution. The aim of this paper is to analyze the influence of the green zones on air quality mitigation through measurements, and to identify the correlation with the meteorological factors.
