MY-AIR: A Personalized Air-quality Information Service

Abstract

This paper describes an information service that personalizes air pollution monitoring by considering the fine grained user location, her microenvironment, and her activity. Personalization is obtained by integrating a large number of information sources including the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) monitoring stations, traffic, weather, portable air pollution data from sensors carried by a small fraction of the population, smartphone sensors, vehicle sensors data captured via on-board diagnostics.
