Project Description

Novel sensing technologies can provide air quality data with unprecedented temporal and spatial resolution. This opens exciting new opportunities for the study of urban air quality and its impact on health. However, as opposed to traditional, expensive, and highly accurate air quality measurements, the use of dense networks based on low-cost sensors is largely unexploited. An important issue for obtaining accurate and spatially highly resolved air pollution data is the tradeo between high cost of accurate air pollution monitoring sensors and the number of such devices required for succinctly monitoring a given geographical area.
