Air Pollution Monitoring System Using Waspmote Gases Sensor Board in Wireless Sensor Network

Abstract

The use of motor vehicles in urban areas is very high. It affects the high levels of air pollution produced. The use of motorized vehicles produces smoke exhaust containing harmful gases such as, Carbon Monoxide (CO), Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2). If the hazardous gas content in the air exceeds the normal limit, it can interfere with human health that inhale it can even cause death. The problem is the lack of information that can be obtained by the community to find out whether the surrounding area has a safe or dangerous air pollution level. Therefore, an application is needed to monitor and analyze the level of air pollution at certain location and inform the results to the user in graphical form through internet network. This monitoring system uses air pollution level analysis based on Indeks Standar Pencemar Udara (ISPU) which is officially used in Indonesia. Based on the tests that have been carried out, the results obtained from the average temperature, CO, CO2 and NO2 gas levels at research site.
