The aim of this study is to determine the air pollution occurring in city centers or it’s around by means of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) equipped with some of the sensors. Today, the air quality in the city centers is realized via stationary air measuring stations located at the determined points of the city. This method provides very safe data depending on the number of stations that make measurement. However, when the city centre is rugged and the measurement period is considered, it is clear that it is not an efficient method. In this study, a more useful measurement method will be produced by using an UAV which is also a practical method to solve this problem. It is planned to measure some of the air pollutants such as CO2, CO, NO2, CH4, and some meteorological parameters such as temperature and pressure, using a modular UAV system to be designed in the study. Due to the advantages of the modular design system, a practical measurement can be carried out for different gases if required.
