Air pollution is a major public health problem worldwide although the lack of data is a global issue for most low and middle income countries. Ambient air pollution in the form of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) exceeds the World Health…
Particulate matter (PM), especially $\text{PM}_{2.5}$, is a critical air pollutant posing significant risks to human health and the environment in India. This study, using six years (2018-2024) of daily $\text{PM}_{2.5}$ data, investigates…
Collecting Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) data from an occupant's immediate surroundings can provide personalized insights for healthy environmental conditions aligned with occupant preferences, but effective sensor placement for data…
Indoor air quality in schools and classrooms is paramount for the health and well-being of pupils and staff. CO2 monitors offer a cost-effective way to assess and manage ventilation provision. However, often only a single point measurement…
The Government of India (GOI) announced a nationwide lockdown starting 25th March 2020 to contain the spread of COVID-19, leading to an unprecedented decline in anthropogenic activities and in turn improvements in ambient air quality. This…
Interest in home gardening has burgeoned since governments around the world-imposed lockdowns to suppress the spread of COVID-19. Nowadays, most families start to do gardening during this lockdown season because they can grow vegetables and…
Fires and burning are the chief causes of particulate matter (PM2.5), a key measurement of air quality in communities and cities worldwide. This work develops a live fire tracking platform to show active reported fires from over twenty…
