Exposure scenario and receptor behavior significantly affect PM2.5 exposure quantity of persons and resident groups, which in turn influenced indoor or outdoor air quality & health management. An Internet of Things (IoT) system, EnvironMax+, was developed to accurately and conveniently assess residential dynamic PM2.5 exposure state. A university community "QC", as the application area, was divided into four exposure scenarios and five groups of residents. Low-cost mobile sensors and indoor/outdoor pollution migration (IOP) models jointly estimated multi-scenario real-time PM2.5 concentrations. Questionnaire was used to investigate residents' indoor activity characteristics. Mobile application (app) "Air health management (AHM)" could automatic collect residents' activity trajectory. At last, multi-scenario daily exposure concentrations of each residents-group were obtained. The results showed that residential exposure scenario was the most important one, where residents spend about 60 % of their daily time. Closing window was the most significant behavior affecting indoor contamination. The annual average PM2.5 concentration in the studied scenarios: residential scenario (RS) outdoor workers > indoor workers > students > the elderly, related to their daily activity time proportion in different exposure scenario.
