Which measurement network monitors urban air quality?

  • A.Satellite observations alone
  • B.Mobile laboratories operated only during episodes when the concentrations are expected to exceed the limits
  • C.Fixed monitoring stations at roadside and background sites
  • D.A single station at the city centre, which is taken as representative of the conditions across the whole area

Answer: C

Networks combine roadside sites, which capture the highest exposures, with urban background sites away from immediate sources, which represent the general population exposure. Rural sites provide the regional baseline against which the urban increment is measured. A single station cannot represent a city where concentrations vary by a factor of several between a busy street and a park a hundred metres away, which is precisely why the classified network design was adopted.
