Development of an IoT-based atmospheric environment monitoring system

Abstract

Recently, as the damage of air pollution due to fine dusts, etc. has been continuously increased, there is a growing need for a low-cost air quality monitoring system to observe air pollution information at public facilities or homes. In this paper, we propose an IoT (Internet of Things)-based atmospheric environment monitoring system which can effectively observe air pollution information without restriction of place or space. The proposed system consists of an atmospheric environment measuring device and an atmospheric environment analyzer, in which the system has been developed to be able to collect and analyze atmospheric environment measurement results in a server through an LTE communication network. The atmospheric environment information obtained from the development system was compared with the observation results provided by the National Ambient air quality Monitoring Information System (NAMIS).
