Journal ArticleDOI
The rise of low-cost sensing for managing air pollution in cities.
Prashant Kumar,Lidia Morawska,Claudio Martani,George Biskos,George Biskos,George Biskos,Marina Neophytou,Silvana Di Sabatino,Margaret Bell,Leslie Norford,Rex Britter +10 more
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
Air pollution abatement performances of green infrastructure in open road and built-up street canyon environments – A review
K.V. Abhijith,Prashant Kumar,John Gallagher,John Gallagher,Aonghus McNabola,Richard Baldauf,Francesco Pilla,Brian Broderick,Silvana Di Sabatino,Beatrice Pulvirenti +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined published literature on neighbourhood air quality modifications by green interventions and provided a better understanding of the interactions between vegetation and surrounding built-up environments and ascertain means of reducing local air pollution exposure using green infrastructure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dispersion study in a street canyon with tree planting by means of wind tunnel and numerical investigations – Evaluation of CFD data with experimental data
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of tree planting with different tree crown porosity was investigated and the results obtained in this work by combining wind tunnel experiments and CFD based simulations suggest ways to obtain quantitative information for assessment, planning and implementation of exposure mitigation using trees in urban street canyons.
Journal ArticleDOI
End-user perspective of low-cost sensors for outdoor air pollution monitoring.
Aakash C. Rai,Prashant Kumar,Francesco Pilla,Andreas N. Skouloudis,Silvana Di Sabatino,Carlo Ratti,Ansar Yasar,David G. Rickerby +7 more
TL;DR: The performance characteristics of several low-cost particle and gas monitoring sensors are reviewed and recommendations to end-users for making proper sensor selection are provided by summarizing the capabilities and limitations of such sensors.
Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of building height variability on pollutant dispersion and pedestrian ventilation in idealized high-rise urban areas
TL;DR: In this article, the link between building height and ground-level pollutants in street networks of high-rise urban areas has been investigated, and the results show that building height variab...
