Energy Efficient Pollution Monitoring System Using Deterministic Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are an organization of sensor nodes that interacts with each other remotely. Due to expansion of industrialization in the world, different types of pollution such as soil, air, radioactive increases day by day and it causes many health-related issues. In this paper, we conceive the problem of harmful gases CO 2 , CO, SO 2 , etc. We propose a comprehensive framework for detection and monitoring of air pollution using wireless sensor network. In the proposed framework, sensor nodes are deployed deterministically to cover region of interest with minimum number of nodes. Our system will monitor the real-time pollution with minimum delay. Better coverage with less number of nodes, minimum traffic from nodes to base station, balanced energy consumption are the main objectives of our proposed work.
