Cities can better monitor and regulate air pollution by using IoT air quality monitoring systems.
Fremont, CA: In conjunction with conventional air quality monitoring equipment, Internet of Things (IoT) sensors for air quality collect bigger volumes of granular data. These sensors monitor temperature, humidity, altitude, air pressure, carbon dioxide, and contaminants such as methane, carbon monoxide, and ammonium. The data is used to reduce air quality issues and safeguard residents. Among the responses implemented based on the received data are vehicle stoppages and detours, road closures, and avoidance recommendations. The air quality sensors can be mounted to private and public vehicles or integrated into the current road infrastructure.
How people can avoid air pollution
The general public does not currently have access to real-time data on national pollution levels. Consequently, it is anticipated that in the near future, apps will be created to alert individuals about issue areas with high pollution levels to avoid. Inside the home, air purifiers may eliminate contaminants such as dust, pet dander, and cigarette smoke to maintain clean and healthy air. HVAC systems are also essential for maintaining appropriate interior air quality. However, they must be the appropriate size for each property. Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system that is too large waste energy, while a system that is too small will not adequately heat or cool the home.
