Air Sensors & Air Quality Monitoring

oral presentation

In recent years, there is an increasing attention on air quality derived services for the final users. A dense grid of measures is needed to implement services such as conditional routing, mobility services, sustainability, alerting and data heatmaps for Dashboards in control room. Therefore, the challenge consists of providing high density data and services starting from scattered sensors...

oral presentation

There is a severe lack of air pollution data around the world. Low cost sensors (LCS) for measuring air pollution offer a possible path forward to remedy the lack of data, though they require careful calibration as the manufacturer-reported data often show large biases against reference monitors. Traditionally, calibration has occurred by co-locating LCS with local reference monitors and...

oral presentation

Good air quality is critical to our health and well-being. Lack of air quality monitors, diverse pollution sources and unique weather patterns make air quality monitoring a difficult throughout Africa. Afri-SET, a new air quality sensors evaluation and training facility at the Department of Physics, University of Ghana is addressing these issues. The facility is evaluating low-cost sensors...
