Urban air quality is increasingly becoming a cause for concern for the health of the human population. The poor air quality is already wreaking havoc in major cities of the world, where serious health issues and reduction of average human life by a factor of years are reported. The air quality in developing countries can become worse as they undergo development. The urban air quality varies non-linearly depending upon the various factors such as land use, industrialization, waste disposal, traffic volume, etc. To address this problem, it is necessary to look at the plethora of available literature from multiple perspectives such as types and sources of pollutants, meteorology, urban mobility, urban planning and development, health care, economics, etc. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive survey of the state-of-the-art in urban air quality. We first review the fundamental background on air quality and present the emerging landscape of urban air quality. We then explore the available literature from multiple urban air quality measurement projects and provides the insights uncovered in them. We then take a look at the sources that are significantly contributing to polluting the air quality. Finally, we highlight open issues and research challenges in dealing with urban air pollution.

Measurement of atmospheric air pollutants (aerosols, NO 2 , O 3 , CO, HCHO, and SO 2 ) is essential for characterizing the environmental and biogeochemical process to monitor the air quality. The concerned measurement methods and instrumentations are complex due to the weak spectral characteristics and very low concentration in volume mixtures of them in the atmosphere. This narrative review focuses on the fundamental and advanced concepts of almost all the in situ and satellite-based methods and instrumentations for measuring the gaseous and other air pollutants in the earth-atmosphere interaction. This paper discusses the literature of past and present developments in the measurement methods and instrumentations by highlighting their positive and negative feedbacks. The developing history (1970–2020) of space-borne instrumentations is indicated along with their techniques and capability to compute the concentration of the atmospheric pollutants for monitoring the air quality (air pollution) and climate in large (regional to global) scale. Several applications of the satellite instruments are described in terms of some important pollutant gases, most of which are known as ambient air pollutant. This study makes some recommendations to the readers so that they can utilize the measurement methods and instrumentations to estimate the important air pollutants such as NO 2 , SO 3 , O 3 , CO, and aerosols as well as for setting up future guidelines and air pollution control policies regarding the epidemiology and public health issues.
