ABSTRACT In order to mitigate the challenges of air pollution prevention and improvement, a large number of Internet of Things (IoT) related technologies have been developed to evaluate and monitor various parameters of air quality. This paper reviews the fundamental characteristics of IoT technologies and accordingly proposes an intelligent and multifunctional IoT monitoring platform to prevent and improve air pollution. The techniques of radio frequency identification (RFID), M2M and sensor network were discussed and compared. To improve the ambient air quality more efficiently, the comprehensive network communication system, cloud decision system, tracking information system, and online management system should be well established using IoT technologies. Meanwhile, we also discussed several cases verifying the availability and feasibility of the performance of the smart ambient air quality management platform on the IoT basis.
