Towards a real-time air pollution monitoring systems implemented using wireless sensor networks: Preliminary results

Abstract:

This paper describes the preliminary results ob-tained towards the development of a Wireless sensor network for monitoring air quality parameters within smart city applications. The system is implemented based on distributed sensor nodes using wireless technology. Several low cost sensors were placed inside a PVC chamber in order to monitor air pollutants concen-trations. To test the system, data samples were obtained around to two cities to determine the CO<inf>2</inf> concentration and particulate material levels. Preliminary results suggest that wireless system developed may be used as a low cost tool for air pollution monitoring.
