A Comprehensive Review of Wireless Sensor Networks Based Air Pollution Monitoring Systems

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) consists of sensors used for sensing environmental conditions and many more applications in real world. Air pollution is a threat to the life of humans. To control the air pollution it is necessary to monitor the pollutant gases in periodically. Various air pollution monitoring systems using sensor network have been developed, deployed and tested in the literature. This paper presents a comparative study about the literature for air pollution monitoring systems based on the classification such as stationary air pollution monitoring systems, dynamic air pollution monitoring systems and pollution data analysis techniques. These pollution monitoring systems are compared based on the methodologies followed, microcontroller used, communication device used, pollutants analyzed using sensors, evaluation attributes, tested location and performance of the system. This paper also discusses the merits and demerits of the air pollution monitoring systems.
