There are several methods used in pollution monitoring, including: - Air Quality Monitoring: This involves measuring concentrations of pollutants like particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), carbon monoxide (CO), and ozone (O3). - Water Quality Monitoring: This includes testing for contaminants such as heavy metals, pesticides, microbial pathogens, and nutrients in water bodies. - Soil Quality Monitoring: This involves analyzing soil samples for pollutants like heavy metals, organic contaminants, and radionuclides.
