Air pollution is a major public health concern and micro-meteorological stations can play an important role in monitoring and controlling air quality. Micro-meteorological stations are equipped with sensors that measure various parameters such as temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction, solar radiation, and air quality parameters such as particulate matter (PM) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

According to a study by Zhao et al. (2018), a micro-meteorological station can provide high-resolution data on air quality parameters, which can be used to develop effective air pollution control strategies. The study found that a micro-meteorological station was able to accurately capture the spatiotemporal variations of PM2.5 concentrations in a urban area, and the data was useful in identifying pollution sources and developing mitigation measures.

Another study by Zhang et al. (2020) used a micro-meteorological station to investigate the impact of traffic emissions on air quality in a busy urban area. The study found that traffic emissions were a significant contributor to air pollution, and the micro-meteorological station was able to capture the variability in air quality parameters across different times of the day.

In addition to monitoring air quality, micro-meteorological stations can also be used to predict air pollution levels. A study by Wu et al. (2019) used a micro-meteorological station to develop a predictive model for PM2.5 concentrations in an urban area. The model was able to accurately predict PM2.5 concentrations up to 24 hours in advance, which could be useful in developing air quality alerts and mitigation strategies.

Overall, micro-meteorological stations can be an effective tool for monitoring and controlling air quality. They provide high-resolution data on air quality parameters, which can be used to identify pollution sources and develop effective mitigation strategies. Additionally, they can be used to predict air pollution levels, which can be useful in developing air quality alerts and mitigation strategies.
