With the accelerated urbanization process and the continuous growth of motor vehicle ownership, air quality is affected by multiple sources of pollution such as industrial emissions, vehicle exhaust, and dust, presenting complex characteristics of regionality, mobility, and suddenness. Traditional fixed-site air quality monitoring is difficult to fully capture the spatial-temporal distribution differences and diffusion trajectories of pollution, and cannot accurately locate pollution sources or grasp the laws of regional pollution transmission. Whether it is the investigation of urban pollution hotspots, refined air quality management, or the rapid traceability and emergency disposal of sudden pollution incidents, there is an urgent need for a monitoring method capable of dynamic coverage and real-time feedback. The mobile air quality online monitoring system emerged under this background. Relying on mobile platforms, it can realize large-scale, high-frequency continuous monitoring, fill the coverage gaps of fixed monitoring stations, and provide comprehensive and three-dimensional data support for precise air quality control, pollution source tracing, and emergency decision-making.
As an advanced environmental monitoring technical solution, the mobile air quality monitoring system features convenient and practical equipment layout and power supply design: the system chassis is installed inside the vehicle, the sampling probe is fixed on the roof via a magnetic suction device, and power is supplied through the vehicle´s cigarette lighter interface or an independent lithium battery, enabling mobile and dynamic monitoring of pollutants within a specified range. The core design goal of the system is to provide technical support for relevant management departments to deeply grasp regional environmental conditions and optimize environmental governance decisions through efficient and accurate data collection and analysis functions. Currently, such mobile monitoring systems have been widely installed on various vehicle types including law enforcement vehicles and ordinary cars. The system integrates multiple sets of high-precision detection sensors, covering a wide range of key environmental indicators, including particulate matter concentrations such as PM2.5 and PM10, as well as the content of gaseous pollutants such as sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen oxides. When the vehicle equipped with the system conducts mobile monitoring in different urban areas, it can not only grasp the actual air pollution situation in each region in real time but also implement comprehensive control of pollutants within the monitoring range, thereby achieving three-dimensional and full-coverage monitoring from macro regions to micro locations.
