Pollution is a major hazard to ecosystems, human health, and the stability of
the global climate. Acknowledging the shortcomings of traditional methods, this
thorough examination investigates the incorporation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a
revolutionary instrument for reducing air pollution. A summary of the current situation
of air pollution is given in this chapter, with a focus on its significant effects. It
provides an overview of AI's ability to address environmental issues and lays the
groundwork for a full investigation of its uses. This chapter uses satellite technology,
sensor networks, and remote sensing to demonstrate how AI is revolutionising air
quality monitoring, predictive modelling, and early warning systems. It also
emphasizes AI's ability to identify pollution sources, presenting methods for measuring
pollution sources and incorporating AI findings into urban planning. It clarifies AI's
critical role in influencing public involvement, awareness, and evidence-based
policymaking. It provides examples of AI-driven air pollution solutions from around
the world, together with best practices and insights into successful projects. It discusses
privacy and equality issues as well as ethical issues related to AI in environmental
monitoring. It also points the way for upcoming discoveries and lines of inquiry,
enabling ongoing progress.
