Mobile Air Quality Monitoring Network
Air pollution is one of the most important factors affecting the quality of life and the health of the increasingly urban population of industrial societies. In the U.S., all major cities have networks of monitoring stations providing continuous measurements of the most important pollutants. However, the number of these stations is usually very small. Furthermore, currently the data of the different pollutants measured at the different stations in the city are aggregated to a single number, the air quality index (AQI), that is published once a day on a website.
