TL;DR: The drivers behind current rises in the use of low-cost sensors for air pollution management in cities are illustrated, while addressing the major challenges for their effective implementation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultrafine particles in cities
Prashant Kumar,Lidia Morawska,Wolfram Birmili,Pauli Paasonen,Min Hu,Markku Kulmala,Roy M. Harrison,Leslie Norford,Rex Britter +8 more
TL;DR: This article reviews some fundamental drivers of UFP emissions and dispersion, and highlights unresolved challenges, as well as recommendations to ensure sustainable urban development whilst minimising any possible adverse health impacts.
Journal ArticleDOI
The urban weather generator
TL;DR: In this article, an urban weather generator (UWG) is proposed to calculate air temperatures inside urban canyons from measurements at an operational weather station located in an open area outside a city.
