Low cost air pollution monitoring systems: A review of protocols and enabling technologies

Low cost air quality monitoring

“…However, no research or study have been presented to address the comparison of energy consumption of low cost and low energy platforms to our knowledge. One of the most recent studies [26] on Low cost air pollution monitoring systems, reviewed protocols and enabling technologies whilst specifying many variations of Arduino and Raspberry Pi as options for data collectors, but lacked any coverage of energy consumption and instead focused on communications architectures. Another study on low cost air quality monitoring devices [16], which reviewed 41 research articles between 2012-2019 consisting of 35 unique device development projects considered performance of sensors, processor used, data storage and communication, with no particular emphasis on energy consumption.…”

Karakterisasi Sifat Magnetik Daun Untuk Analisa Polusi Udara: Sebuah Tinjauan Ulang

“…Meningkatnya polutan pada atmosfer disebabkan oleh beberapa faktor seperti perkembangan industri, pertumbuhan ekonomi yang pesat, peningkatan urbanisasi, lalu lintas dan transportasi serta penggunaan energi yang tinggi [1]. Hal ini berdampak pada pemanasan global serta perubahan iklim sehingga dibutuhkan pemantauan dan mengendalikan pencemaran untuk menjaga kualitas lingkungan [2]. Polusi udara dapat menjadi faktor penyebab masalah kesehatan masyarakat yang paling penting di daerah perkotaan, dimana partikel tersuspensi antropogenik di atmosfer berkaitan dengan banyak polutan di udara [3].…”

LoRa Sensor Network Development for Air Quality Monitoring or Detecting Gas Leakage Events

“…The conventional and most common techniques for air quality monitoring consist of stationary stations equipped with different instrumental techniques or manual sampling at different locations followed by analysis in specialised laboratories. These techniques can be very accurate but require the use of bulky, power-hungry, and expensive instruments [ 19 , 20 ]. Thus, these approaches do not provide a scalable solution for monitoring with enough spatial resolution air pollution events related to automotive combustion or burning fuels for cooking in urban scenarios [ 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 ].…”

Thus, these approaches do not provide a scalable solution for monitoring with enough spatial resolution air pollution events related to automotive combustion or burning fuels for cooking in urban scenarios [ 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 ]. Furthermore, these technologies demand trained personnel to operate with complex equipment and, obviously, they cannot be implemented in portable, low-cost, and low-power devices.…”

“…In the last few years, several authors have reported the use of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) for air quality monitoring systems [ 20 , 22 ]. In that sense, some decision-making systems have been designed using both Local Area Networks (LANs) for the monitoring of local air quality or generating an alarm while under a gas pollution event [ 35 , 36 ] and Wide Area Networks (WANs) for remote control and monitoring [ 37 , 38 , 39 ].…”
