No matter the world region, urban areas face a huge environmental problem: keeping the air clean while more people move in and more businesses and human activities add pollution to the air we breathe.
Unless cities transform into more sustainable places, there will be no chance to combat this dreadful climate change that’s happening right now, in front of our eyes. Devising effective air quality management in large cities seems to be one of the clever directions we all – as humans – should take now.

Insufficient Air Quality Management in Large Cities’ and Its Impact on Humans
Urban expansion, industrialization, and increased car use have undoubtedly escalated air pollution levels all around the world. This pollution has serious health implications, including diseases of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems, cancers, and pregnancy-related complications[1].
Moreover, air pollution exacerbates climate change effects, disrupting ecosystems and health on a global scale. Studies have shown that poor air quality contributes to millions of premature deaths annually[2].
These issues expose the pressing need for local authorities to prioritize innovative solutions and technologies in their eco-policies. The future of air quality management in large cities depends on the successful implementation of these strategies, preparing healthier urban environments for generations to come.
AI’s Role in the Future of Air Quality Management in Large Cities
AI-powered automation can become an indispensable solution for improving air quality management in large cities. Regulatory demands for carbon footprint disclosure make AI technologies critical for compliance. Equipped with AI tools monitoring air quality, companies can effectively keep track of and reduce their carbon emissions, essential for minimizing environmental impact. AI air quality assessment tools can:
- predict pollution levels,
- optimize energy usage, and
- guide urban planning, hence
- contributing to cleaner urban environments.
Reaching out for the analytical skills and quick data processing offered by AI could be a shift toward responsible environmental management. With a higher likelihood, it may open new possibilities for air quality management in large cities.
In summary, local authorities should recognize that AI technologies can simplify the process of taking the right actions swiftly. This is important for the future of air quality management in large cities, making it easier to reduce pollution levels and protect public health.
