Integrated pollution monitoring system for smart city

Abstract

The continuous monitoring of pollution level in urban areas is important for a smart city. There are several parameters changes that indicate the pollution: dust particle density in the air, humidity, light intensity, and the level of sound noise. A technology that can be developed for an integrated pollution monitoring system is wireless sensor network (WSN) utilizing waspmote smart cities device, connected with several sensors, such as dust sensor PM-10 (GPY21010AU0F), humidity sensor (808H5V5), luminosity sensor (LDR), and microphone (dBA). As a communication protocol we used 3G connectivity to store the data to cloud system. Prototype of this system had been tested in controlled laboratory environment and the performance of developed system was as expected. Result of this system can be used by government and policy makers as basic information to take further actions reducing pollution level.
