Due to the profound impact of air pollution on human health, livelihoods, and economic development, air quality forecasting is of paramount significance. Initially, we employ the causal graph method to scrutinize the constraints of existing…
Monitoring urban air quality with high spatiotemporal resolution continues to pose significant challenges. We investigate the use of taxi fleets as mobile sensing platforms, analyzing over 100 million PM2.5 readings from more than 3,000…
The French regulation on residential building ventilation relies on an overall and continuous air renewal. The fresh air should enter the building through the "habitable rooms" while the polluted air is extracted in the service rooms. In…
Low-cost air quality sensors are becoming ubiquitous in our daily lives as public awareness of air pollution continues to grow, and people take measures to monitor and improve the air they breathe indoors. Besides the standard operation of…
Respiratory insufficiency is a medic symptom in which a person gets a reduced amount of oxygen in the blood. This paper reports the experience of building SPIRA: an intelligent system for detecting respiratory insufficiency from voice. It…
The issue of sustainability is at the top of the political and societal agenda, being considered of extreme importance and urgency. Human individual action impacts the environment both locally (e.g., local air/water quality, noise…
Air pollution remains a critical threat to public health and environmental sustainability, yet conventional monitoring systems are often constrained by limited spatial coverage and accessibility. This paper proposes an AI-driven agent that…
A bioclimatic approach to designing comfortable buildings in hot and humid tropical regions requires, firstly, some preliminary, important work on the building envelope to limit the energy contributions, and secondly, an airflow…
Particulates and dust can limit accelerator performance in various ways. In this paper the basic properties and mechanisms of contaminations due to particulates are described. With this knowledge countermeasures can be implemented to…
The ever-accelerating process of globalization enables more than half the population to live in cities. Thus, the air quality in cities exerts critical influence on the health status of more and more urban residents. In this article, based…
Airborne diseases can be transmitted by infectious aerosols in the near field, i.e., in close proximity, or in the far field, i.e., by infectious aerosols that are well mixed within the indoor air. Is it possible to say which mode of…
Learning to automatically perceive smell is becoming increasingly important with applications in monitoring the quality of food and drinks for healthy living. In todays age of proliferation of internet of things devices, the deployment of…
Asthma is a common, usually long-term respiratory disease with negative impact on global society and economy. Treatment involves using medical devices (inhalers) that distribute medication to the airways and its efficiency depends on the…
Air pollutants, such as particulate matter, negatively impact human health. Most existing pollution monitoring techniques use stationary sensors, which are typically sparsely deployed. However, real-world pollution distributions vary…
With the rapid development of economy in China over the past decade, air pollution has become an increasingly serious problem in major cities and caused grave public health concerns in China. Recently, a number of studies have dealt with…
Air quality forecasting has been regarded as the key problem of air pollution early warning and control management. In this paper, we propose a novel deep learning model for air quality (mainly PM2.5) forecasting, which learns the…
The air quality in classrooms across all types of schools in Lower Saxony in the north of Germany has been monitored during June to December 2021 in a large study. Novel sensor instruments for air quality monitoring were wall mounted in 329…
People are increasingly concerned with understanding their personal environment, including possible exposure to harmful air pollutants. In order to make informed decisions on their day-to-day activities, they are interested in real-time…
Nowadays air pollution becomes one of the biggest world issues in both developing and developed countries. Helping individuals understand their air pollution exposure and health risks, the traditional way is to utilize data from static…
The COVID-19 pandemic caused a paradigm shift in our way of using heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems in buildings. In the early stages of the pandemic, it was indeed advised to reduce the reuse and thus the…
