IOT Based Wireless Sensor Network for Air Pollution Monitoring

Abstract

Wireless sensor network is one of the important areas where a lot of work is being done. The work is not limited to fire detection and propagation of fire, air pollution, water or gas leakage detection but many more. If WSN is used in conjunction with Internet of Things (IOT), the shared information will be more useful. Internet of things is nothing but a combination of sensor and software with the embedded electronics. The data collected in a local area can be sent at any distance where it can be seen and further controlling action may be initiated if required. The WSN based air monitoring system collects the data from the area where the sensors are deployed and the data can be displayed on the computer screen. The computer data can be sent to any terminal which is connected to Internet. Hence by using IOT, the long distance transmission of the data can be done. The monitoring is limited to area but the information can be forwarded to any control station. Hence by using IOT, the air pollution level of the campus even cities can be monitored and necessary advisory can be issued if required.
