Design a monitoring system to measure health hazards through route mapping using air and weather quality
Abstract
Health hazards resulting from air pollution have become a significant health concern around
the world. This final-year design project report presents the development and implementation
of air quality monitoring and mapping systems to measure health hazards and provide
real-time data through route mapping based on air quality. The objective of this project is to
design and develop a comprehensive monitoring and mapping system that integrates data
from various sensors to assess health hazards along specific routes within the environment.
We have designed a multisensor network that collects data on the contents of the air. The
sensors will measure the temperature, humidity, ammonia, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide,
and particulate matter, or PM2.5, including the date, time, and exact position. And in
addition to this, the data will be implemented on a map that will show different colors for
different levels of pollution. This will make the users aware of the road situation, and as a
result, they will be able to take proper precautions or take alternate routes to their destination.
The monitoring and mapping system will make significant advancements in public health and
environmental monitoring. It will empower its users to proactively protect their health by
choosing safer routes based on real-time data. Moreover, this system will assist its
stakeholders, such as city planners, in identifying areas with consistently poor air quality or
high health hazards so that they can make improvements to such areas.
