ABSTRACT
We designed and prototyped WearAir, an expressive T-shirt to sense the wearer's surrounding air quality as indicated by the measured volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and publicly express those levels through visually expressive patterns. Although poor air quality has been shown to affect human health, our daily exposure to such pollutants has been inadequately captured and publicly shared. Our work is designed to accurately measure and publicly express the immediately local air quality. Obtaining information regarding air quality indirectly from others might help people to increase their awareness to air quality.

A SVM-based regression model to study the air quality at local scale in Oviedo urban area (Northern Spain): A case study
This research work presents a method of daily air pollution modeling by using support vector machine (SVM) technique in Oviedo urban area (Northern Spain) at local scale. Hazardous air pollutants or toxic air contaminants refer to any substances that ...
Challenges in Capturing and Analyzing High Resolution Urban Air Quality Data
UbiComp '18: Proceedings of the 2018 ACM International Joint Conference and 2018 International Symposium on Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing and Wearable ComputersClassic measurement grids with their static and expensive infrastructure are unfit to realize modern air quality monitoring needs, such as source appointment, pollution tracking or the assessment of personal exposure. Fine grained air quality assessment ...
Multi-year assessment of photochemical air quality simulation over Spain
