The air pollution monitoring paradigm is rapidly changing due to recent advances in (1) the development of portable, lower-cost air pollution sensors reporting data in near-real time at a high-time resolution, (2) increased computational and visualization capabilities, and (3) wireless communication/infrastructure. It is possible that these advances can support traditional air quality monitoring by supplementing ambient air monitoring and enhancing compliance monitoring. Sensors are beginning to provide individuals and communities the tools needed to understand their environmental exposures with these data individual and community-based strategies can be developed to reduce pollution exposure as well as understand linkages to health indicators. Each of these areas as well as corresponding challenges (e.g., quality of data) and potential opportunities associated with development and implementation of air pollution sensors are discussed.
由于（1）便携式、低成本的空气污染传感器的发展，能够以高时间分辨率实时报告数据；（2）计算和可视化能力的提高；以及（3）无线通信/基础设施的进步，空气污染监测模式正在迅速发生变化。这些进步有可能通过补充环境空气监测和加强合规性监测，来支持传统的空气质量监测。传感器开始为个人和社区提供所需的工具，以便使用这些数据来了解他们的环境暴露情况，个人和社区的策略可以制定出来，以减少污染暴露，并了解与健康指标的联系。本文讨论了这些领域以及与空气污染传感器的开发和实施相关的对应挑战（例如数据质量）和潜在机会。
