This paper presents results of comprehensive analyses of data from the first 122 commercially available wireless environmental pervasive sensors (motes), developed by Newcastle University and deployed in England. Measurements of pollution, meteorology and traffic are used to investigate the complexity of the physical and chemical processes governing the levels of traffic-related pollution in urban areas. Following a brief introduction on health impacts associated with air quality, description of the mote technology is given. Cluster analysis statistics to investigate the relationship between different pollutant types and traffic data demonstrated that traffic flow regimes alone cannot be used to estimate diurnal kerbside pollutant concentrations. Also, the absolute levels, whilst dependent on meteorological conditions and static parameters are only partially governed by the pollutant dispersion. The research clearly illustrates the benefits and added value of pervasive concentration measurement in urban micro environments with potential to effectively evaluate human exposure to transport-related emissions.
