ABSTRACT
Currently, air pollution is being one of the main concerns for the undesirable and harmful impacts on human health and environment. Nanomaterials and nanotechnology are broadly utilized for the management of air pollution. Reduced low-price nanostructured materials-based sensors could be hosted to monitor the levels of pollution of indoor and outdoor air. In this chapter, we present diverse nanostructured materials utilized as receptors in air/gas sensors. The preparation and the important characteristics of the nanostruc-tured materials to be involved in sensing air pollution applications are briefly described. Then, different nanostructured materials that could contribute to 410the adsorption of toxic gases are highlighted. Finally, some commercially available examples of sensors for air pollution are given.
