Application of Internet of Things (IoT) on air pollution monitoring database system

Abstract

In the present work, a database system of air pollution monitoring is developed using Internet of Things (IoT) technology. The system aims to give structural information and trace of air pollution level at particular monitoring station. The particular monitoring location (node) is connected to IoT/M2M server via GSM network using GPRS feature and display on IoT/M2M application in web form. The database on IoT/M2M contains name, description, and location of the monitoring station, Pollution index and the time when the data are taken. On IoT/M2M, the data are displayed either in a color bar graph or a line graph. The color indicated the index value of the pollution. The data can be accessed via internet on isfuonline.info. The system is tested at laboratory environment to detect CO, SO2, NO2, O3, and PM. The test result shows that the system is worked well. Time required to transfer the monitoring data to the IoT server is about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, response time of the system is 30 minutes.
