Living in healthy environment should be regarded as a primary human right and not a privilege rendered to chosen ones. For that reason, a national air monitoring grid should be as extensive as possible. Unfortunately, small towns and villages, which are also exposed to air pollution episodes are not commonly covered by monitoring grid. Fixed air monitoring systems have their limitations, which can be overcome by e.g., properly validated, reliable but cheaper mobile monitoring systems. The aim of this study was to assess the use of a car mobile PM10 monitoring system to study ambient air quality in rural communities surrounding Kraków, not covered by fixed monitoring grid. A monitoring dataset was collected during 6 winter car campaigns conducted between December 2021 and March 2022. Except for providing multiple monitoring data, the main goal pertain to methodological aspect of the mobile system, including its validation, indicating its advantages, limitations as well as providing recommendations for the future mobile studies. Our car mobile monitoring system was useful in identifying a local hot-spots with good spatial and temporal resolution, thus giving the local government decision-making tool for taking appropriate action in places not included in national monitoring grid.
生活在健康的环境中应被视为一项基本人权，而不是赋予特定人群的特权。因此，国家空气监测网络应尽可能广泛。不幸的是，同样面临空气污染事件的小镇和村庄通常不在监测网络覆盖范围内。固定空气监测系统有其局限性，可以通过例如经过适当验证、可靠但更便宜的移动监测系统来克服。本研究的目的是评估使用汽车移动PM10监测系统来研究克拉科夫周边农村社区的环境空气质量，这些社区未被固定监测网络覆盖。在2021年12月至2022年3月期间进行的6次冬季汽车监测活动中收集了监测数据集。除了提供多个监测数据外，主要目标涉及移动系统的方法学方面，包括其验证，指出其优点、局限性以及为未来的移动研究提供建议。我们的汽车移动监测系统有助于以良好的空间和时间分辨率识别当地热点，从而为地方政府提供决策工具，以便在国家监测网络未涵盖的地方采取适当行动。
