Air pollution measurement quantifies ambient concentrations of specific pollutant gases and particulates against defined safety thresholds, using sample-collection protocols paired with pollutant-specific optical or electrochemical detection methods (non-dispersive infrared, chemiluminescence, fluorescence/UV absorption spectroscopy, flame ionization), and aggregates results into a normalized Air Quality Index for public communication. This belongs to environmental/industrial instrumentation, applying analytical spectrometry and electrochemistry to convert a physical or optical signal into a calibrated pollutant concentration.
