Revolutionising protection against air pollution (ARC Discovery Project administered by QUT) (2015–2017)

Abstract:

Airborne pollution is one of the top contemporary risks faced by humans; however, at present individuals have no means to realise that they are at risk or to protect themselves. This interdisciplinary project will develop a revolutionary personalised air pollution exposure monitoring system, leveraging the ubiquitousness and advancements in mobile phone technology and state of art in miniaturisation of monitoring sensors, data transmission and analysis. It will empower individuals to control and minimise their own exposures and thus open a new era in management of environmental risks, which will lead to significant national socioeconomic benefits and bring global advancement in acquiring and utilising environmental information.
