Abstract

Current ambient air quality monitoring is solely based on fixed monitoring sites, not always reflecting the exposure and effects on humans. This article reviews the current situation in Europe, the USA and Asia and discusses the main differences and similarities. Based on the analysis of the relation between monitoring techniques and strategies as well as the analysis of current trends and developments in monitoring strategies, new concepts and directions of future urban monitoring networks and strategies are presented and discussed.
