This article assesses the feasibility of using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to identify and map air pollution from infrastructure emissions. The study highlights the importance of air quality monitoring, especially in urban areas where air pollution is a major concern. Road transport is a significant source of air pollution, contributing up to 25% of total annual emissions in the EU. To address this, UAVs are increasingly used for environmental monitoring due to their ability to provide remote, fast, and area-based measurements. The research presents examples of UAV applications in identifying and mapping air pollutants such as gaseous pollutants (C6H6, HCHO, SO2) and particulate matter (PM1, PM2.5, PM10). The study was conducted on a key A4 highway in Poland, demonstrating the ability of UAVs to create detailed maps of air pollution distribution. The results show that UAVs can effectively visualize pollution levels at different altitudes and provide valuable data for future environmental protection and infrastructure improvement projects. The study also highlights the advantages of UAVs, including their mobility, ease of use, and ability to collect real-time data. However, the study also notes limitations, such as restrictions on drone flights in certain areas and the need for further research to understand the impact of atmospheric conditions on pollution mapping. Overall, the research concludes that UAVs are a promising tool for air pollution monitoring, offering a more comprehensive and accurate approach compared to traditional methods. The findings suggest that UAVs can contribute to the development of "green cities" by providing essential data for pollution control and environmental protection.This article assesses the feasibility of using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to identify and map air pollution from infrastructure emissions.
