 air, the most crucial resource for the sustenance of life. Unfortunately, rising air pollution has become a bigger problem globally. As industrial development has progressed, access to clean air has become a luxury and it's not just for us, it affects our entire planet. Air pollutants can travel great distances, unlike us they're not concerned about territorial boundaries or ecologically sensitive areas. According to WHO, every year, an estimated 7 million people die as a result of air pollution around the world. All the particles when discharged into the atmosphere react with other atmospheric substances and form aerosols. Aerosols, when combined with high quantities of air pollutants, introduce many undesired compounds into the ecosystem. Due to this rising air pollution, the various phenomenon such as acid rain, ozone depletion, haze, climate change, decreased carbon sequestration takes place which affects the environment. Unfortunately, examples of environmental degradation are beginning to become the, new normal in our time. The negative and underappreciated consequences of increased air pollution have prompted us to intensify our air quality monitoring capabilities. The absence of ambient air monitoring stations in the cities that are most likely to be affected due to the various sources of air pollution requires immediate actions. Installing a robust monitoring network using low-cost sensor-based monitoring equipment like oizoms, dustroid and pollutone helps us in monitoring the pollutants emitted from different sources. The real-time data obtained assists in gaining relevant insights, taking timely steps, and preventing the negative environmental effects of air pollution.
