Wireless Sensor Network For Real Time Air Quality Monitoring, 2019
DIT Dar es Salaam campus environment is located at the centre of Dar es Salaam city. Moreover it ... more DIT Dar es Salaam campus environment is located at the centre of Dar es Salaam city. Moreover it is located at the middle of highly congested roads; Morogoro road, Bibi Titi Mohamed and Aly Khan Road. This being the case the environment of DIT is likely to be highly subjected to poor air quality mainly due to the effect of green gases emitted by moving motor vehicles. Poor air quality at DIT is also contributed by construction activities of the nearby buildings. Hence, the lives of people at DIT could be vastly exposed to some dangerous diseases like lung cancer and Tuberculosis by inhaling polluted air. In this project report, WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK FOR REAL TIME AIR QUALITY MONITORING is proposed at DIT Dar es Salaam campus. In this proposed system different sensing nodes will be placed at different places within DIT campus and there will be a single network coordinator/gateway. Using this proposed system changes in air will be measured in real time and the resulting data will be uploaded to a cloud server. By using an android application individuals will be able to access this real time air quality information mapped into DIT Google map. The proposed system has been tested and from the results it has been observed that; during busy hours there is a higher content of Carbon monoxide (CO) and Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) in the areas near Morogoro road compared to any other area in the campus. Moreover, during daytime areas around Block III, Block IV and the football ground have observed to have higher contents of PM10, PM2.5 and Carbon dioxide (CO2) compared to any other area of the institute’s campus.
Practical implementation of the proposed system will enable individuals at DIT community to have access of air quality information at their fingertips. Moreover the authority will have a proper record of air quality data which can be used in further air quality studies and researches. Furthermore, this system can be extended to a broader network with the purpose of monitoring air quality in larger areas.
