Air Pollution Monitoring System

Description:

Detecting pollution timely and locating the pollution source is of great importance in environmental protection. Considering the advantages of the sensor network technology, sensor networks have been adopted in pollution monitoring works. In this paper, a survey on research of pollution monitoring using sensor networks in environmental protection is given. Firstly, sensors and pollution monitoring network systems are studied. Secondly, different pollution detection methods are analyzed and compared. Thirdly, an overview of state-of-art technologies on pollution source localization is given. Finally, challenges in pollution monitoring using sensor networks are presented.

The objectives of the project are:

The objectives of the project are:
1. To develop a device that monitors the air quality of a region and gain insights into the pollution-causing agents.
2. To store data collected in the cloud and further help in the analysis of region.
3. To test the device in real-world conditions and evaluate its effectiveness in detecting and identifying the most probable pollution-causing agents in the specific area.
4. Led board that displays real-time data on a big screen for public information in that area.
