Abstract

This article deals with the development of real-time air quality monitoring based on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and low-cost Internet of Things (IoT) devices. This investigation aims to design and develop an UAV-based platform that can monitor a large number of air pollutants in real-time with high spatial and temporal resolution. The proposed environmental monitoring system consists of five main elements, namely the UAV, sensors, data storage module, programmable card, and IoT communication module. Estimated pollutants such as particulate matter (PM2.5) and toxic gases (carbon monoxide CO, nitrogen dioxide NO2, and carbon dioxide CO2) are detected by low-cost sensors. The ZigBee wireless protocol is used for communication between the PC and UAV. This work is carried out to assess the air quality in urban areas, given the heavy road traffic and the emissions of some companies. The data analyzed were collected from December 2, 2022 to January 3, 2023, in two major cities of Cameroon, Douala and Kribi. The periodic average values of the detected pollutants are 222 ± 22 μg/m3 and 85.7 ± 8.6 μg/m3 for PM2.5, 560.8 ± 1.0 ppm and 555.6 ± 1.0 ppm for CO2, 4.2 ± 0.2 ppm and 0.7 ± 0.1 ppm for NO2, and 27.6 ± 2.8 ppm and 4.5 ± 0.5 ppm for CO in Douala and Kribi respectively. This made it possible to have an air quality index (AQI) of 444.2 for Douala City and 171.3 for Kribi City. These high values indicate poor air quality during the measurement period.

基于本地开发的无人飞行器和低成本智能电子设备的实时空气质量监测

本文论述了基于无人机（UAV）和低成本物联网（IoT）设备的实时空气质量监测的开发。这项研究旨在设计和开发一个基于无人机的平台，该平台可实时监测大量空气污染物，并具有较高的空间和时间分辨率。拟议的环境监测系统由五大要素组成，即无人机、传感器、数据存储模块、可编程卡和物联网通信模块。低成本传感器可检测估计污染物，如颗粒物（PM2.5）和有毒气体（一氧化碳 CO、二氧化氮 NO2 和二氧化碳 CO2）。电脑和无人机之间的通信采用 ZigBee 无线协议。这项工作的目的是评估城市地区的空气质量，因为道路交通繁忙，一些公司排放废气。所分析的数据是 2022 年 12 月 2 日至 2023 年 1 月 3 日在喀麦隆的两个主要城市杜阿拉和克里比收集的。在杜阿拉和克里比，检测到的污染物的周期平均值分别为：PM2.5 为 222 ± 22 μg/m3 和 85.7 ± 8.6 μg/m3；二氧化碳为 560.8 ± 1.0 ppm 和 555.6 ± 1.0 ppm；二氧化氮为 4.2 ± 0.2 ppm 和 0.7 ± 0.1 ppm；一氧化碳为 27.6 ± 2.8 ppm 和 4.5 ± 0.5 ppm。因此，杜阿拉市的空气质量指数（AQI）为 444.2，克里比市为 171.3。这些高数值表明测量期间的空气质量很差。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
