Abstract

This paper presents a preliminary experiment done to identify potential problems and issues in setting up a testbed for air pollution measurement and modeling. Our final testbed, part of a joint research activity between the University of Bologna and the Macao Polytechnic Institute, will be composed of three lines of the air pollution sensors Canarin II and it will be used to produce spatio-temporal open data to test third-party air pollution models. Here, we present a preliminary experiment based on a single line of sensors, showing interesting insights into the actual open challenge of air pollution modeling techniques validation, taking into account the effects of air pollutant emissions sources, meteorology, atmospheric concentrations and urban vegetation.
