Air pollution has turned out to be a deadly silent killer always on the move affecting we the
humans right from an infant to an adult , plants ,animals alike.Air pollution has always been
there but was never thought of as a threat, but of late has turned out to be a gigantic threat, a
threat which has the capability which may not kill you directly but will make you suffer like
anything, without you being able to nothing much.
Development of a system ,with the help of which any end user ,maybe an expert , a layman, an
individual , a private group, or a government agency
The contributions expected to be carried in the research work can be summarized as follows:
Deploying an air quality monitoring network using relatively small sensor nodes instead of
those traditional bulky stations and thus allowing a possibility of deploying a large numbers of
stations
Data so gathered will be processed and analyzed on the backend system and advanced data
presentations and reporting techniques may be implemented
Detailed data assessment will be carried out to dissiminate the information in user friendly
formats to promote environmental awareness among the experts as well as non expert group.This
assessment may help to alert a sensitive group eg. People with asthama, by providing to them
with accurate estimates of the pollution status in the near future e.g.in the next 24 hours , so that
they take necessary precautions.
