Application of Greenhouse Gas Monitoring System Using General Packet Radio Service on GSM Network

Abstract

Emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) is the greatest influence on the air quality for the largest contribution to global warming is about 50%. These gases absorb and reflect radiation emitted waves of the earth, so that the heat will be stored on the surface of the earth. The absorption capacity on mangrove plants is one of the efforts to reduce CO2 emissions. In this work, a gas monitoring system was developed to monitor greenhouse gas utilizing GSM network using GPRS service. Based on experiment result, this system can monitor the absorption of CO2 emissions and the formation of O2 gas in mangrove plants as one of the efforts to reduce the impact of global warming. The information can be transmitted using SMS service on GSM network in less packet size and data transmission time, and also can be accessed through web-based application. As conclusion, the use of small and portable gas-sensing air pollution monitoring technologies can obtain more spatially and temporally representative air pollution data.
