A Study on Air Pollution Monitoring System using Wireless Sensor Network

Sensor networks are currently an active research area mainly due to the potential of their applications. In this paper we discussed about the use of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN)for air pollution monitoring. Wireless Sensor Networks is an excellent technology that can sense, measure, and gather information from the real world and, based on some local decision process transmit the sensed data to the user. These networks allow the physical environment to be measured at high resolutions, and greatly increase the quality and quantity of real-world data and information for applications like pollution monitoring. Inhaling pollutants for a long time causes damages in human health and the air quality is a major concern in modern cities due to significant impacts of air pollution on global environment, and worldwide economy. To avoid such adverse imbalances in the nature, an air pollution monitoring system is utmost important. Usually the three air pollutants gases including carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide in air because these gases decides the degree of pollution level. Pradeep G Pillai | Saravanan.
