In this article, we aim to present some of the possibilities for monitoring and quantifying the diverse influences of urban air (i.e. aerosoles, gases, and odors) in both indoor and outdoor spaces. These effects on citizens can also be monitored using unobtrusive methods. Based on literature, regulatory information and experiments, we present a somewhat fluid boundary between technologies that are already available on the market today, technologies that exist in principle in the scientific community but have not yet been incorporated into medically approved devices, and technologies that are expected to function within the next few years. We also do not claim to be exhaustive but rather aim to provide a selection of ways in which people's sense of well-being in relation to air quality in cities can be monitored, thus offering insights into potential manipulation.
