Abstract

One of the most important concerns of global economy and community health is air pollution. Real time monitoring of air quality is an important aspect. In conventional air quality monitoring systems, cost, data access and scalability are the roadblocks. In present days, researchers are working on the advanced technologies, such as wireless sensor network (WSN), internet of things (IoT) together with low-cost environmental sensors. This paper presents a broad review of air pollution monitoring systems (APMS) with protocols and aiding technologies alongwith comparison and performance assessment. In the end, objective is to realize future of APMS to make them more realistic and accurate.
