Portland Wild Fires - Our Sensor Solution
Fostered by advances in IoT technology, Sailbri Cooper’s SCI-608 air quality sensor network monitor uses machine learning algorithms, which are fully deployable on a cloud platform, to conduct in-situ calibration of the data. Our algorithms and calibration systems have been proven to be reliable during high pollution episodes. The periodic wildfire episodes in the West Coast during recent ...

Application of atmospheric dispersion models to evaluate population exposure to NO2 concentration in Buenos Aires
Chronic or repeated exposure to low concentrations of NO2 may increase the incidence of respiratory infections especially in the most sensitive persons. Air pollution monitoring data obtained in Buenos Aires City reveal that sometimes NO2 Air Quality Guidelines (AQGs) recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) is exceeded. We estimate hourly background concentrations (Ch) of NOx ...

Air quality modelling as a supplementary assessment method in the framework of the European Air Quality Directive
According to the European Air Quality (AQ) Directive, member states must annually report their AQ to the European Commission (EC). This report can be based on modelling data if the concentration levels do not exceed the established lower assessment thresholds (LAT), or on combined data from modelling and monitoring systems (supplementary assessment methods) if concentrations levels are below the ...

Meteorological normalisation and non-parametric smoothing for quality assessment and trend analysis of tropospheric ozone data
Despite extensive efforts to ensure that sampling and installation and maintenance of instruments are as efficient as possible when monitoring air pollution data, there is still an indisputable need for statistical post processing (quality assessment). We examined data on tropospheric ozone and found that meteorological normalisation can reveal (i) errors that have not been eliminated by ...

Evaluation of AirGIS: a GIS–based air pollution and human exposure modelling system
This study describes in brief the latest extensions of the Danish Geographic Information System (GIS)–based air pollution and human exposure modelling system (AirGIS), which has been developed in Denmark since 2001 and gives results of an evaluation with measured air pollution data. The system shows, in general, a good performance for both long–term averages (annual and monthly averages), ...

Roadside Pollution Monitoring: An Essential for Smart Roadways & Highways
Roads are the backbone to economic activities. They occupy a considerable area of our urban spaces and are primarily designed for vehicular traffic making them significant contributors to air pollution. The major air pollutants contributing to roadside air pollution are particulate matter (PM), NOx, CO and SOx. Major sources of these pollutants are from exhaust pipes of vehicles, wear & tear ...

Air Pollution Monitoring in Tunnels and Parking Lots
Thousands of miles long tunnels support transportation of millions of vehicles around the world. Tunnels are crucial road infrastructure, especially in mountainous regions. They save a lot of time and fuel and provide reliable rail and road transportation in all seasons. Incessantly increasing vehicular congestion results in the construction of underground parking facilities. With ever-increasing ...

First evaluation of a novel screening tool for outlier detection in large scale ambient air quality datasets
Systematic collection of long term meso- to 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 the first version of a prototyped screening tool for the automatic detection of outliers in large data volume ...

Air pollution in Europe 1990-2004
Overall picture This report analyses and presents changes in air pollutant emissions and their possible health or ecosystem impacts in Europe covering the period 1990–2004. Emissions of all air pollutants fell substantially during the period 1990–2004 in the 32 EEA member countries (EEA-32), resulting in improved air quality over the region. However, ambient concentrations of particulate matter ...
