We have designed a 5G-capable environmental sensing network (ESN) node prototype, called Advanced Air Pollution Monitoring Device (AAPMD). The developed prototype system measures concentrations of NO 2 , Ozone, carbon monoxide, and sulphur dioxide using semiconductor sensors. Further, the system gathers other environmental parameters like temperature, humidity, PM 1 , PM 2 . 5 , and PM 10 . The prototype is equipped with a GPS sub-system for accurate geo-tagging. The board communicates through Wi-Fi and NB-IoT. AAPMD is also implemented with energy harvesting power management, and is powered through solar energy and battery backup. Compared to the conventional designs with Wi-Fi-based connectivity, the developed system consumes 10-times less energy while using 5G NB-IoT communication module, which makes it a very competitive candidate for massive deployment in highly polluted metro cities like Delhi and Kolkata, in India. The system can provide updated measurements of pollutant levels with controllable time granularity.

Air pollution, water pollution, and radiation pollution are significant environmental factors that need to be addressed. Proper monitoring is crucial with the goal that by preserving a healthy society, the planet can achieve sustainable development. With advancements in the internet of things (IoT) and the improvement of modern sensors, environmental monitoring has evolved into a smart environment monitoring (SEM) system in recent years. This article aims to have a critical overview of significant contributions and SEM research, which include monitoring the quality of air , water pollution, radiation pollution, and agricultural systems. The review is divided based on the objectives of applying SEM methods, analyzing each objective about the sensors used, machine learning, and classification methods. Moreover, the authors have thoroughly examined how advancements in sensor technology, the Internet of Things, and machine learning methods have made environmental monitoring into a truly smart monitoring system.

IoT for Smart Environment Monitoring Based on Python: A Review

Air pollution is conducted to harmful substances like solid particles, gases or liquid droplets. More pollutants CO, SO2, NOx, CO2.This research is proposed the design and implementation of mobile, low cost and accurate air pollution monitoring system using Arduino microcontroller and gas sensor like MQ2, MQ131, MQ135, MQ136, DHT22, measuring materials mentioned above, smoke, Acetone, Alcohol, LPG, Toluene, temperature, humidity and GPS sensor”NEO-6M” that track the location of air pollution data, and display the analysis result on ESRI maps. The system also save the results on SQL server DB. The data is classified using data mining algorithms, presenting the result on a map helps governmental organizations, nature guards, and ecologists to analyze data in real time to simplify the decision making process. The proposed system uses J48 pruning tree classifier generated using cross validation of fold (10) with highest accuracy 100%, while IBK ≈99.67, Naive bays ≈90.89, and SVM ≈81.4. It’s found that the common air quality for Baghdad (study area) is between (“Good”, “Satisfactory”, and “Moderately”) for 1835 records of air samples during (January and February 2021) time period.

In a smart IoT system, multi-sensing at a field node is a typical scenario. The examples considered in this study are pollution monitoring and smart energy metering. In such applications, energy sustainability and communication and storage resource usage optimization are two of the key issues of interest. In this study, on one hand it is intended to develop indigenous beyond state of the art multi-sensing boards with the inherent smartness in energy replenishment and sensing/communication activities. On the other hand, smart data collection and processing at the end node (fog node or edge node) is of interest primarily from efficient communication bandwidth usage perspective. On the first exercise towards energy sustainable IoT sensing and communication board design, we have designed a prototype for a 5G capable environmental air pollution monitoring system. The system measures concentrations of NO2, ozone, CO and SO2 using semiconductor sensors. Further, the system gathers other environmental parameters like temperature, humidity, PM1, PM2.5 and PM10. The prototype is equipped with a GPS sub-system for accurate geo-tagging. The board communicates through Wi-Fi and NB-IoT. The board is also equipped with energy harvesting power management, and is powered through solar energy and battery backup. On the second exercise, a working model of a smart IoT device with a data pruning subsystem is designed, where a smart energy meter is considered for an example application. As a proof of concept we plan to demonstrate data compression at the edge to save bandwidth required for data transmission to a remote cloud. At each smart meter, sparsity of data is exploited to devise an adaptive data reduction algorithm using compressive sampling technique such that the bandwidth requirement for smart meter data transmission is reduced with minimum loss of information. The Smart Energy Meter is WiFi and NB-IoT enabled. This meter is capable of logging multiple energy consumption parameters. The overall objective has been demonstrating the ability of beyond state of the art circuits and system design for IoT communications, wherein context specific intelligence is applied at the at the node. The broad philosophy in this study can be readily extended to any chosen IoT application.
