Mobile, Secure, and Programmable Networking

Human beings need a regular supply of healthy food, clean water and especially intoxicated air. However, the increase in industrialization leads to high gas emissions, which effects badly the urban environment and people health. To measure, in real time, pollutants concentrations influencing the human health and natural environment, traditional equipment of air quality monitoring was substituted by new advanced wireless technologies. Using wireless technologies, air pollution data can be monitored and transmitted to remote servers in real time. In this paper, we present a survey related to the application of urban environmental monitoring. We also proposed a new methodology for air quality monitoring based on vehicular networks.
