A review on estimating the effects of inhaling airborne pollutants and air quality monitoring

Monitoring the quality of air has become crucial because of perpetually expanding contamination levels of air pollution. It not just helps in deciding the quality of air, but additionally cautions people about how vulnerable they are to airborne pollutants. Clean air is necessary for the survival of human beings. This paper presents the effects of airborne pollutants on human health and models which can be used to estimate them. The unsafe impacts of breathing in airborne toxins are discussed which brings about the need of an Air Quality Monitoring System(AQMS). This paper also presents an architecture and implementation of real-time AQMS with the help of sensor networks. With sensing, actuation, communication and control have become more sophisticated and ubiquitous, the methods for Air Quality Monitoring can be envisioned in a completely different manner leading to more open research problems.
