Abstract: The importance of air pollution control in smart cities has been realized by almost every department of society. Research community has been working in collaboration with industry to craft sensors for measuring different types of pollution levels in the environment. However, it is rarely possible to implant the sensors in all geographical areas. It is important to measure pollution levels in almost every part of the world with life and implement clean environment policies. However, in unplanned areas, the implementation of environmental policies faces problems because such areas lack in communication infrastructure and cost of huge amount of fixed or static sensors. This work envisions availability of sensor-equipped-VANET based system to monitor pollution levels in different areas of an unplanned city. This paper proposes an autonomous VANET system that can carry environmental sensors to collect data from an area at different intervals, process it to transform data into information and forward the information to node that has capability to collect all information and then send it to server machine for further process either using VANET or some reliable network connectivity. Based on the collected data, this research further contributes health aware commuting recommendation based on cost effective monitoring of air quality.
