As cities invest increasingly in quality of life and tackling air pollution, accurate environmental monitoring is high on the agenda. To identify health risks posed by, for example, particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide, Dutch cities have traditionally relied on fixed monitoring stations. These static sensors leave blind spots in certain areas and are not always representative of the diversity of the urban population.
