Wireless sensor node for green environment

Environment pollution has become a very big menace to human beings and awareness is required among the citizens to contribute for green environment. Polluted air is harmful for human beings and the biosphere, on the whole. Details about the effects of air pollutants on human beings for different concentrations are reported in this paper, which confirms that there is an urgent need to design a low-cost wired or wireless sensor node to monitor air pollution and the same can be employed for monitoring other sources of environment pollution too. The proposed module can be easily adapted in two-wheelers, four-wheelers and other automobiles enabling the drivers and passengers to get an idea of air pollutant content around them.
