Systematic review of UAV-assisted airborne particulate matter measurement in urban areas
This systematic review aimed to investigate the applications of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) for the measurement of airborne Particulate Matter (PM) concentrations in urban environments. To achieve this aim, a systematic literature review based on the Protocol of Preferred Reporting Items for Syste...

UAVs are used as stand-alone technology for traffic-related PM distribution monitoring. In atmospheric PM studies, UAVs were integrated with other measurement technologies (e.g., lidar) or incorporated into models (e.g., land use regression) to provide high-resolution representations of PM distribution in three dimensions. Vertical observations showed higher PM concentrations at lower altitudes than at higher altitudes in the majority of case studies in both measurement categories. Factors associated with PM concentrations were also identified. © 2024 Elsevier B.V. Elsevier B.V. 23529385 English Review |
