“…According to the World Health Organisation, in 2016, household and ambient air pollution were responsible for seven million deaths [ 1 ]. During the last decade, many researchers have investigated both indoor and outdoor air quality monitoring systems because of air quality being intrinsically linked to human health [ 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 ] and the occurrence of premature deaths [ 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ]. Therefore, having widespread, unattended portable and connected devices and networks for air quality monitoring and pollutant detection would be a decisive step forward for decreasing the prevalence of lethal diseases such as ischemic heart disease, stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or even lung cancer [ 11 , 12 , 13 ].…”
