Abstract: A method for pollutant sensor placement for pollutants from point sources is described. Data about environmental characteristics for a geographic region are received from a plurality of environmental sensors. The geographic region includes pollutant sources that emit a pollutant. The received data from one or more of the plurality of environmental sensors are transformed into common data having a common spatial and temporal discretization across the geographic region. Predicted emission plumes are generated for the pollutant sources within the geographic region that identify pollutant detection regions for the pollutant when the pollutant is emitted by the pollutant sources using the common data. Sensor locations for a plurality of pollutant sensors are greedily selected across the common spatial and temporal discretization according to a number of predicted emission plumes that are detectable by the plurality of pollutant sensors.
