鉴于数百万遭受空气污染的人，填补低收入和中等收入国家的空气质量监测差距已被认为是全球挑战。为了应对这一挑战并使其工作将需要私营企业，多个级别的政府，国际组织，学术界和民间社会，以朝着表征，更好地理解，然后减少的共同目标，导致疾病和可预防的空气污染每年在全球低落和中等收入国家中，数百万人死亡。本文提供了有关如何使用新兴技术的结合，适应特定国家条件以及建立持久机构发展的能力来提高空气质量监测的具体下一步。
Given the millions of people suffering from air pollution, filling the air quality monitoring gap in low- and middle-income countries has been recognized as a global challenge. To meet this challenge and make it work will require private enterprise, multiple levels of government, international organizations, academia and civil society to work together toward the common goal of characterizing, understanding better, and then reducing, the air pollution that causes sickness and preventable death for millions of people each year in lowand middle-income countries around the world. This article offers concrete next steps on how to make progress toward increasing air quality monitoring using a combination of emerging technologies, adaptation to country-specific conditions, and building capacity towards the development of lasting institutions.
