The Role of the Internet of Things in Monitoring Air Pollution-A Survey

Air pollution is one of the most common problems that the world is facing today. In fact, there are numerous causes of air pollution, including the large number of industries and automobiles that emit carbon dioxide (CO2) and carbon monoxide. Pollution is increasing on a daily basis, making air quality monitoring and management a major challenge for governments in both developed and developing countries. Air pollution affects human health as well as the atmosphere, causing climate change. One of the techniques used for monitoring air pollution is the Internet of Things (IoT). In this paper, we demonstrate various techniques for monitoring air quality using IoT and make a comparison based on various factors elicited from the previous work.
