TL;DR: An IOT-based method to monitor the Air Quality Index and the Noise Intensity of a region, have been proposed and it fulfils the objective of analysis of information on a periodical basis.
Abstract: In recent day scenario, the incessant increase in air and sound pollution prove to be an alarming problem. It has become mandatory to control and appropriately monitor the situation so that the required steps to curb the situation can be undertaken. In this project, an IOT-based method to monitor the Air Quality Index and the Noise Intensity of a region, have been proposed. The recommended technology comprises of four modules namely, the Air Quality Index Monitoring Module, the Sound Intensity Detection Module, the Cloud-based Monitoring Module and the Anomaly Notification Module. Firstly, the Air Quality Index is measured considering the presence of the five criteria air pollutants. Then the sound intensity is detected using respective sensor. After that, the Cloud-based Monitoring Module ensures the process of acquiring the data with the help of Wi-fi-module present in Raspberry Pi which fulfils the objective of analysis of information on a periodical basis. Finally, the Anomaly Notification Module alerts the user in case of an undesired condition.

TL;DR: An open source system that enables networking and computing of edge devices but also processing of data in a server is developed - all being a connected system that is referred to as smart farm computing system.
Abstract: Smart sensing and computing have become important concepts in the last few years, creating opportunities in the new sector of smart agriculture. A few commercial smart agriculture systems have been introduced to this end, and albeit closed for experimentation, are paving the way for high-tech innovations for crop and livestock agriculture. In this paper, we focus on open and low-cost concepts for smart fog (edge) computing systems to create a smart farm animal welfare monitoring system. We develop an open source system that enables networking and computing of edge devices but also processing of data in a server - all being a connected system that we refer to as smart farm computing system. We propose to use Raspberry Pis as edge devices to monitor the animals and the farm environment, and we let the edge devices communicate with a local farm controller. The proposed farm computing system conceptually creates a fog computing layer and is further connected with cloud computing systems and a mobile application. We demonstrate that a low-cost and open computing and sensing system can effectively monitor multiple parameters related to animal welfare.

TL;DR: This paper deals with measuring the Air Quality using Mq135 sensor along with Carbon Monoxide CO using MQ7 sensor using Machine Learning analysis and proviing a reducement of the cost of components versus the state of the art.
Abstract: This paper deals with measuring the Air Quality using MQ135 sensor along with Carbon Monoxide CO using MQ7 sensor. Measuring Air Quality is an important element for bringing awareness to take care of the future generations and for a healthier life. Based on this, Government of India has already taken certain measures to ban Single Stroke and Two Stroke Engine based motorcycles which are emitting high pollution. We are trying to implement a system using IoT platforms like Thingspeak or Cayenne in order to bring awareness to every individual about the harm we are doing to our environment. Already, New Delhi is remarked as the most pollution city in the world recording Air Quality above 300 PPM. We have used easiest platform like Thingspeak and set the dashboard to public such that everyone can come to know the Air Quality at the location where the system is installed. Machine Learning analysis brings us a lot of depth in understanding the information that we obtained from the data. Moreover, we are proviing a reducement of the cost of components versus the state of the art.

TL;DR: A significant aim of this review is to provide a distinct categorization pursuant to state of the art humidity sensor types, principles of work, sensing substances, transduction mechanisms, and production technologies.
Abstract: Humidity measurement is one of the most significant issues in various areas of applications such as instrumentation, automated systems, agriculture, climatology and GIS. Numerous sorts of humidity sensors fabricated and developed for industrial and laboratory applications are reviewed and presented in this article. The survey frequently concentrates on the RH sensors based upon their organic and inorganic functional materials, e.g., porous ceramics (semiconductors), polymers, ceramic/polymer and electrolytes, as well as conduction mechanism and fabrication technologies. A significant aim of this review is to provide a distinct categorization pursuant to state of the art humidity sensor types, principles of work, sensing substances, transduction mechanisms, and production technologies. Furthermore, performance characteristics of the different humidity sensors such as electrical and statistical data will be detailed and gives an added value to the report. By comparison of overall prospects of the sensors it was revealed that there are still drawbacks as to efficiency of sensing elements and conduction values. The flexibility offered by thick film and thin film processes either in the preparation of materials or in the choice of shape and size of the sensor structure provides advantages over other technologies. These ceramic sensors show faster response than other types.

TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of ionic-type humidity sensors by the addition of alkali ions is explained in terms of influence on the microstructure and on the intrinsic impedance.
Abstract: The possible applications of humidity sensors in automated systems for environmental control encompass many industrial and domestic fields. Very different operating temperatures and a variety of humidity ranges are needed for these purposes. The different humidity-sensing mechanisms and operating principles identified for ceramics are reviewed. Ceramic humidity sensors are divided into ionic, electronic, solid-electrolyte and rectifying-junction types. Examples of the performance of some ceramic sensors are presented. The correlation between the microstructure of ceramic materials and their humidity-sensitive electrical response is discussed. The improvement of the performance of ionic-type humidity sensors by the addition of alkali ions is explained in terms of influence on the microstructure and on the intrinsic impedance. The recent trend towards the miniaturization and integration of sensors on a single chip requires the production of ceramic films. Ceramic thin films prepared by sol-gel or sputtering processes are investigated. The results obtained on the humidity sensitivity of pn semiconducting oxide heterocontacts are also reported.
