Self-Portraits of Personal Exposure to Air Pollution: on where and when People Are Exposed, and on why it Is Difficult to Avoid
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss personal exposure to air pollution through an analysis of the space-time trajectories of seven Brussels residents through an activity-based model, examining how much, when, and where the subjects are exposed to PM2.5 during a typical week.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fine particulate matter exposure in four transport modes of Greater Cairo.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantified PM2.5 exposure during peak hours in four transport modes of Greater Cairo -car (windows-open, windows-closed with recirculation and AC-on), microbus, cycling and walking -and understand its underlying drivers.

On the Regression and Assimilation for Air Quality Mapping Using Dense Low-Cost WSN
TL;DR: The results show that from a given sensing error threshold, regression methods present an optimal sensor density from which the mapping quality decreases, and the Random Forest method is often the best regression approach but still less efficient than the BLUE assimilation approach when using adequate correction parameters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sensor network for PM2.5 measurements on an academic campus area
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a sensor network for campus area of Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, consisting of 20 sensor nodes, distributed both on a narrow scale (14 devices on the main campus area) and on a wide scale (devices on campuses in distant parts of the city).
Journal ArticleDOI
High spatial resolution IoT based air PM measurement system
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed an alternative particulate matter measurement system which is portable and low-cost (less than 200 USD) and also integrated with cloud computing, which allows real time distant monitoring of PM particles with high spatial resolution (meter range).
