  5. Air pollution measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_pollution_measurement

    The European Environment Agency collects its air quality data from 3,500 monitoring stations across the continent. [24] The measurements made by sensors like these, which are much more accurate, are also near real-time and are used to generate air quality indexes (AQIs). Between the two extremes of large-scale static and small-scale wearable ...
