New technology: Complementary data for air pollution
Integrating data from sensors and satellites into the traditional monitoring system not only helps the authorities and people get more complete and timely information on air quality.

Together with traditional monitoring stations, satellite and sensor technology provides a more complete picture of air quality in both space and time. Illustration: Environ. Sci
Over the past three years, there has been an explosion of sensor-based air monitoring networks - devices that are compact in size, low in cost, and simple to operate, making it possible for anyone to monitor the health of the real-time air pollution.
Not only prominent foreign systems, such as AirVisual, Air Matters, Air Quality, Windy but also domestic sensors, such as PAM Air, tMonitor, Puritrak, FAIRnet and etc. began to spread in two big cities like Hanoi, HCMC.
The problem of air pollution is becoming more and more "visible" to everyone, especially after the report on health risks due to PM2.5 dust exposure at the end of August by the research team conducted by the University of Public Health and the University of Technology - Hanoi National University.
According to this result, the concentration of PM2.5 in Hanoi is 1.1 - 1.5 times higher than the standard in Vietnam and this may be the cause of the decrease in the average life expectancy of the people in the capital about 2.49 years, of which for every 100,000 people, 35.5 people die because of PM2.5 dust pollution.
