Poor air quality harms human health and the environment. In Europe, emissions of many air pollutants have decreased substantially over the past decades. A significant part of Europe’s population lives in areas, especially cities, where exceedances of air quality standards occur: ozone (O3), nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and particulate matter (PM) pollution pose serious health problems. Several countries have exceeded one or more of their 2010 emission limits for four important air pollutants. Reducing air pollution therefore remains important. This paper presents a low-cost air quality monitoring device that due to the communication technology (LoRaWAN) can be used on large geographical areas. The presented solution was tested and verified on real field service conditions. The obtained data is compared with existing public air quality stations official data.

空气质量差会危害人类健康和环境。在欧洲，过去几十年来，许多空气污染物的排放量已大大减少。欧洲人口的很大一部分生活在空气质量标准超标的地区，尤其是城市：臭氧（O3），二氧化氮（NO2）和颗粒物（PM）污染构成严重的健康问题。几个国家/地区已经超过了其对四种重要空气污染物的2010年排放限值中的一个或多个。因此，减少空气污染仍然很重要。本文介绍了一种低成本的空气质量监测设备，由于通信技术（LoRaWAN）可以在较大的地理区域使用。提出的解决方案已在现场服务条件下进行了测试和验证。
