Smog Particulate Matter Detector Using ZigBee

Wired equipment was traditionally used to gather required information related to Smog. Smog is a kind of haze intensified by atmospheric pollutants. A wireless sensor module is used for data transmission and collection in a more efficient way using IEEE protocol ZigBee. The Aid of data visualization with effective use of network algorithms is made to detect particulate matter which is an important constituent of smog. Smog detection has become important as it helps in determining the air quality index of a particular area. For this, a smog detection module is introduced on a small scale which uses particulate matter analyzers. The analysis of the concentration of smog at different times of the day is made for records. These records may be worked upon in the future to reduce smog-associated problems faced by the community. Better plans and actions can be implemented by environmentalists and governments for improved general health and administration.
