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.

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.

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.

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.

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...
