Strategic report on MEMS based carbon monoxide sensor technology for environmental air quality monitoring using unmanned aerial vehicle

In an environment the various types of hazardous gases are present such as carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and sulphur dioxide (SO2) etc. In addition, with these hazardous gases, the vehicle and industry related air pollutions are also the predominant parameters. The CO gas is the most powerful hazard gas mainly affects the human health. So, the main motto of this research article is to provide a strategically measured CO level for low and high range of CO present in the environment using micro electro mechanical system (MEMS) based CO sensing technologies. In the proposed system unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is used to measure CO gas in the various altitudes to get an environmental data. The sensor which is used to measure CO is structured with substrate, micro heater, metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) sensing layer and electrode using n-type MOS. The major objective of this research article is to identify the n-type semiconductor to optimize the power. It is used by the MEMS based gas sensor in order to increase the flight time of mini-UAV to measure the CO level in various altitudes and transfer the measured data to the console system for analysis and preventive measures.
