Indoor Air Quality Monitoring and Control

Using webcam for indoor air quality monitoring

Nowadays application of webcam becomes more and more popular. Thus webcams are being developed to have better resolution but lower cost. This has motivated us to evaluate the suitability of using webcam for indoor air quality monitoring. This monitoring involved determining the concentration of particulate matter with diameter less than 10 micron (PM10). An algorithm was developed to convert mu...

Indoor air quality monitoring in urban areas using Smart Sensing Technology

Recently, indoor air quality has attracted the attention of policymakers and researchers as a critical issue like that of external air pollution. Indoor air quality is more important as people spend time longer indoors than outdoors. Indoor environments are closed compared to external environments providing less opportunity for the pollutants to dilute. The emissions contain many substances tha...

Hospital indoor air microbial quality: Importance and monitoring

Indoor microbial air flora is a cause of tremendous health concern in developing countries. A number of allergic and infective illnesses are linked to poor microbiological quality of indoor air in the hospital, like Bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, sick building syndrome and pneumonia. This air quality needs to be assessed by one or more of many standard methods available, old and new, and is ve...

Real-Time Indoor Air Quality Monitoring Through Wireless Sensor Network

Recently, indoor air quality monitoring (AQM) has become an important research area for the concern of human health and lifestyle. The AQM is usually based on the deployment of wireless sensor networks (WSN) within the building. Bridging the gap between gas sensors, deployed at different locations of the WSN, and the Internet becomes a challenging task in terms of link reliability and data inte...
