Abstract

The Air Quality is an ever-growing environmental issue and over time it is seen as getting worse. In this paper we will look at a case study example where we integrated a low-cost and portable air quality monitoring system in order to perform some local measurements of pollution in the Liverpool area, UK. The system is presented in its set of components and then the preliminary set of measurements and results are shown. Even if a more in depth validation should be considered, these initial results provide a good benchmark for the development of low cost and portable system for the air quality monitoring.
