Air pollution monitoring system based on air pollutant index(API) and geographic information system(GIS)

Abstract

Air pollution is the most alarming fact in modern world. Air pollution monitoring system is common research eld with tremendous new information which can be used to nd out the main air pollutants. In this research the goal is to design an air pollution monitoring system using the Air Pollutants Index (API) data retrieved from Dhaka US Consulate and Geographic interpolation System (GIS) via Inverse Distance Weighted (IDW) interpolation methodology with ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS 10.5 software to nd out air pollutants concentration in atmosphere using some basic gas sensor and other components. In this research, i have collected data from ten to twelve di erent clumsy and polluted area of Dhaka City which are overly polluted by the dust, burned fuel smoke, brick kilns and dangerous particle of matter. Those area is my study area. The aim is to prepare a model which will measure the amount of pollutant elements present in our environmental air. Our main objective is to compare the Dhaka US Consulate data with our proposed sensor model data and develop an air poluution map.
