Air Pollution Monitoring
Description
High population and urbanization growth rate raises the issue of air pollution in recent years. Air quality monitoring is one of the major concerns due to its influence on human health. With the advancement in sensing and embedded technology, Internet of Things(IoT) becomes one of the economic alternative to implement air quality monitoring system compared to costly and fixed air quality monitoring stations.
By implementing an air pollution monitoring solution comprised of sensors and gateways embedded with LoRa Technology and an intelligent low power wide area network based on the LoRaWAN™ protocol, cities can better measure quality and provide the type of data necessary to drive change for their citizens.
Benefits
- with LoRa Technology to provide cities with highly detailed data they can use to identify problem areas and implement measurable air quality control programs
- Low cost to set up, since battery-operated sensors do not need to be connected to a power source
- Reduce maintenance costs as low-power operation ensures sensor batteries can last up to 20 years
- Widespread air pollution monitoring covering all major areas of a city, including:
– Roads and freeways
– Schools, buildings, downtown centers
– Industrial areas
– Parks, pools and other recreation areas
