Current trends in network based air quality monitoring systems

Advances in Water Quality Monitoring of Inorganics: Current Trends

New methods of analysis for water quality monitoring to detect inorganic substances are required to meet the demands of determining concentration, particularly at low detection limits, analysing speciation and even identifying the pollution source. Such information is essential to inform public health decisions and to comply with more stringent legislation. This paper concentrates on two case s...

Information Systems for Air Quality Monitoring

Arduair: Air Quality Monitoring

Air pollution and quality monitoring is extremely important in today’s world as it has a direct impact on human health. Air pollution is on the rise due to a number of anthropogenic activities and its monitoring is of vital importance to mitigate certain measures to control it. In this paper we put forward a low-cost and low-power sensor based system for air quality monitoring. This sensor base...

Wireless Sensor Network for Air Quality Monitoring and Control

A network of low-power wireless sensors for the detection of air quality pollutants (acetone, toluene, ammonia , formaldehyde, ethanol, benzene, dichloromethane, acetic acid, xylene and dimethylacetamide) is described in this paper. The network consists of several sensor nodes responsible for receiving information and wirelessly, through ZigBee protocol, sending it to a gateway connected to the...

Mobile Sensor Network Design and Optimization for Air Quality Monitoring

Air quality and personal pollutant exposure measurement are important for the health and productivity of individuals. Accurate measurement of personal exposure is challenging because of the spatially and temporally heterogeneous distribution of pollutant concentrations. We propose to use low-cost and miniature mobile sensor networks to provide real-time measurement of the environment directly s...
