“…For example, google street view cars which are dedicated and modified vehicles also used for air pollution monitoring, in works like [8] [72] [73]. Other vehicle types can also be used, such as work in [74], deployed low-cost sensor device on the laboratory van through the cable hole on the vehicle's roof for monitoring urban air pollutants. With dedicated vehicles, air quality sensing operations can have fewer time constraints, extensive spatial coverage, and diverse manageable movement.…”

Chiesa et al [91] deployed low-cost sensor an optical particulate matter sensor on the laboratory van through the cable hole on the roof of the vehicle for monitoring urban air pollutants. The system has been used in the experimental field campaign to measure air quality in Rome, Italy.…”

Air pollution has become a significant health, environmental and economic problem worldwide. The conventional approach of deploying fixed high-end air quality monitoring stations provides accurate measurements but can be expensive to deploy and maintain. As a result, the stations are typically deployed in a few strategic locations with various spatial interpolation or prediction models to estimate the air quality values from unsampled points. Recently, drive-by air quality sensing has emerged as a popular approach due to its dynamic nature, high spatial coverage, and low operational costs while providing highresolution data. At the same time, drive-by sensing has introduced a range of novel research challenges in terms of spatial and temporal coverage, mobile sensor calibration, and deployment strategies. This paper provides a systematic review and analysis of the recent work in this area, focusing on vehicular platforms, deployment strategies, primary challenges, and promising research directions.

“…As the monitoring of air pollution becomes more important throughout the world, many studies and papers have been published that looked into developing cheaper, more accessible air quality measurement systems that can be deployed even in remote or underdeveloped areas. Low-cost solutions are often published [7][8][9][10], as many authors try to develop simpler sensors or techniques to monitor various air quality parameters, such as the concentration of CO, NO 2 , and particulate matter. Sometimes these systems are developed for very specific purposes [11], as the world transitions to a fossil-fuel-free future.…”

The monitoring of air quality continues to be one of the most important tasks when ensuring the safety of our environment. This paper aims to look at correlations between different types of pollutants, so that robust air quality measurement systems can be deployed in remote, inaccessible areas, at a reduced cost. The first matter at hand was to design an affordable and portable system capable of measuring different air pollutants. A custom PCB was designed that could support the acquisition of readings of, among others, particulate and CO sensors. Then, correlations between the concentrations of different pollutants were analyzed to identify if measuring the concentration of one type of pollutant can allow the extrapolation of the concentration of another. This particular study focuses on the correlations between the concentrations of particulate matter and CO. Finally, after observing a moderate correlation, it was proposed to measure the concentrations of pollutants that require less expensive sensors, and to extrapolate the concentrations of pollutants that require a more expensive sensor to measure their concentration. The link between particulate pollution and CO concentrations was identified and discussed as the result of this study.
