  • a survey of wireless sensor network based air Pollution Monitoring systems
    Sensors, 2015
    Co-Authors: Wei Ying Yi, Kin Ming Lo, Kwongsak Leung, Yee Leung, Mei Ling Meng
    Abstract:

    The air quality in urban areas is a major concern in modern cities due to significant impacts of air Pollution on public health, global environment, and worldwide economy. Recent studies reveal the importance of micro-level Pollution information, including human personal exposure and acute exposure to air pollutants. A real-time system with high spatio-temporal resolution is essential because of the limited data availability and non-scalability of conventional air Pollution Monitoring systems. Currently, researchers focus on the concept of The Next Generation Air Pollution Monitoring System (TNGAPMS) and have achieved significant breakthroughs by utilizing the advance sensing technologies, MicroElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS) and Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). However, there exist potential problems of these newly proposed systems, namely the lack of 3D data acquisition ability and the flexibility of the sensor network. In this paper, we classify the existing works into three categories as Static Sensor Network (SSN), Community Sensor Network (CSN) and Vehicle Sensor Network (VSN) based on the carriers of the sensors. Comprehensive reviews and comparisons among these three types of sensor networks were also performed. Last but not least, we discuss the limitations of the existing works and conclude the objectives that we want to achieve in future systems.
