Wi-Fi or WiFi is a technology for wireless local area networking with devices based on the IEEE 802.11 standards.

Wi-Fi is a trademark of the Wi-Fi Alliance, which restricts the use of the term Wi-Fi Certified to products that successfully complete interoperability certification testing.

Wireless sensor networks (WSN), sometimes called wireless sensor and actuator networks (WSAN), are spatially distributed autonomous sensors to monitor physical or environmental conditions, such as temperature, sound, pressure, etc.

and to cooperatively pass their data through the network to a main location.

The more modern networks are bi-directional, also enabling control of sensor activity.

The development of wireless sensor networks was motivated by military applications such as battlefield surveillance; today such networks are used in many industrial and consumer applications, such as industrial process monitoring and control, machine health monitoring, and so on.

Air pollution occurs when harmful substances including particulates and biological molecules are introduced into Earth's atmosphere.

It may cause diseases, allergies or death in humans; it may also cause harm to other living organisms such as animals and food crops, and may damage the natural or built environment.

Human activity and natural processes can both generate air pollution.

Citizen science (CS; also known as crowd science, crowd-sourced science, civic science, volunteer monitoring or networked science) is scientific research conducted, in whole or in part, by amateur (or nonprofessional) scientists.

Citizen science is sometimes described as "public participation in scientific research," participatory monitoring and participatory action research.

In the broadest definition, a sensor is an electronic component, module, or subsystem whose purpose is to detect events or changes in its environment and send the information to other electronics, frequently a computer processor.

A sensor is always used with other electronics, whether as simple as a light or as complex as a computer.
