Development of computational technologies and software for assessment of air pollution in Krasnoyarsk

Abstract

Experience of research and development of hardware and software for air pollution monitoring of industrial cities carried out at the Institute of Computational Modeling of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences is presented. The functional possibilities, architectural features, and user interface of a distributed web geographic information system of ecological monitoring of the city of Krasnoyarsk, which is being developed in a service-oriented architecture, are discussed. Data from automated posts for observing the atmospheric air are collected. The services developed for data aggregation and information web presentation in the form of interactive graphs and thematic maps are discussed. An original device has been developed for measuring fine dust (PM2.5) pollution in the atmosphere to feed the data in real time to the system via a cellular network. A system for integral assessment of pollution in the atmosphere based on Air Quality Index (AQI) calculations has been created.
