ABSTRACT
As we know our health is impacted by air quality, however our knowledge of the air quality where we live, work and play is limited. The limitations, of the spatial and temporal understanding of air quality, are created by the current technology, which is large and expensive. Wireless sensor technology is becoming prolific in the indoor and outdoor air monitoring market. Due to its outstanding potential to generate real-time and extremely local, even personal, air quality data.
Wireless air sensing data will become the platform which will drive our understanding of air quality and its impact on health. However, we still have a lot of work to do before we can unlock this potential.
I will discuss perspectives and experience gained through the deployment of a dense network of real-time wireless air sensors in urban locations. The discussion will be focused on the successes, the challenges, and how to best interpret and understand the information from a dense network. Included are the positives and negatives of sensor data, its integration into a heterogeneous network of air monitoring technology, and our excitement about event detection.
