Deployment of Wireless Sensor Networks for Air Quality Monitoring

Article Preview

Abstract:

At present, the effective technical means for air quality forecast and air pollution control is imperative for China environment utilities because of the increasing and serious environment pollution problems. In this paper, we discuss an air quality monitoring scenario which utilizes the wireless sensor network (WSN) to monitor the air quality of the transportation, industry and residential areas. Using the WSN, it is possible to deploy a large number of sensor nodes randomly distributed throughout the monitored area to capture environmental information of CO2, NO, NO2 and total suspended particulates. To achieve this goal, a special WSNs architecture is proposed, where the sensor nodes and coordinator nodes are designed by using ZigBee-based prototype wireless network, using GPRS to transmit the data from coordinator node to monitoring center, and designing the monitoring center server accessed from remote terminals through internet. In addition, the open source software (OSS) is proposed to design the database and website of the server. The designed air quality monitoring system reduces the cost of network installation and maintenance and provides a data delivery service for the air quality monitoring service in a timely and reliable manner.
