Urban Air Quality Monitoring and Modelling Using Ground Monitoring, Remote Sensing, and GIS

This chapter explores the advancements in urban air quality studies, focusing on the utilization of ground monitoring systems, remote sensing, and GIS techniques in urban air quality monitoring and modelling. It provides an overview of the importance of monitoring urban air quality, the challenges associated with it, and the need for comprehensive and integrated approaches to address this issue. This chapter highlights the role of ground monitoring stations, remote sensing technologies, and GIS in assessing and managing urban air pollution. It also discusses the application of these techniques in modelling air quality and predicting air pollutant concentrations. By integrating these techniques, researchers and practitioners can enhance their understanding of air pollution patterns, develop effective pollution control strategies, and promote sustainable urban development. The case studies and applications discussed in this chapter serve as valuable examples for decision-makers and environmental managers looking to improve air quality in urban areas.
