Abstract: Smart environments exploit rising technologies like Internet of Things (IoT) and edge intelligence (EI) to achieve unseen effectiveness and efficiency in every tasks, including air sanitization. The latter represents a key preventative measure–made even more evident by the COVID-19 pandemic–to significantly reduce disease transmission and create healthier and safer indoor spaces, for the sake of its occupants. Therefore, in this paper, we present an IoT-based system aimed at the continuous monitoring of the air quality and, through EI techniques, at the proactively activation of ozone lamps, while ensuring safety in sanitization. Indeed, these devices ensure extreme effectiveness in killing viruses and bacteria but, due to ozone toxicity, they must be properly controlled with advanced technologies for preventing occupants from dangerous exposition as well as for ensuring system reliability, operational efficiency, and regulatory compliance.
