Abstract In Algeria, air pollution is classified as a major risk by the law. However, this risk is underestimated because there is no operational network for measuring air quality on a continuous basis.Despite the heavy investments made to equip several cities with these measurement systems, they are out of order due to a lack of continuous financial support.The alternative to the absence of these air pollution measurement networks can come from the recent development of electrochemical sensor technologies for air quality monitoring which arouses a certain interest because of their miniaturization, low energy consumption and low cost.We developed a low-cost outdoor carbon monoxide analyzer called APOMOS (Air pollution Monitoring System) based on electrochemical sensor managed by microcontroller. An application developed with the Python language makes it possible to manage process and analyze the collected data.In order to validate the APOMOS system, the recorded measurements are compared with measurements taken by a conventional analyzer.Comparison of the measurements resulting from conventional analyzer and those resulting from the APOMOS system gives a coefficient of determination of 98.39 %.Two versions of this system have been designed. A fixed version and another embedded, equipped with a GPS sensor. These 2 variants were used in the city of Oran in Algeria to measure the concentration of carbon monoxide continuously.The targeted pollutant is carbon monoxide. However, the design of the APOMOS system allows its evolution in an easy way in order to integrate other sensors concerning the various atmospheric pollutants.

“…High performance, expensive air quality monitoring is already available through the monitoring programs in most urban areas. The goal of additional fixed-site monitors is to supplement air quality data in areas where monitors are not present, without creating an untenable cost or maintenance burden on their operating agencies [25]- [26]. The monitors must be inexpensive so they can be arrayed through neighborhoods (i.e., one per block) and be replaced in the case of damage or vandalism [27].…”

Sensor selection for outdoor air quality monitoring

Gas chemical monitoring for next-generation robotics applications such as fire fighting, explosive gas detection, ubiquitous urban monitoring, and mine safety require high performance, reliable sensors. In this work, we discuss the performance requirements of fixed-location, mobile vehicle, and personal sensor nodes for outdoor air quality sensing. We characterize and compare the performance of a miniature commercial electrochemical and a metal oxide gas sensor and discuss their suitability for environmental monitoring applications. Metal oxide sensors are highly cross-sensitive to factors that affect chemical adsorption (e.g., air speed, pressure) and require careful enclosure design or compensation methods. In contrast, electrochemical sensors are less susceptible to environmental variations, have very low power consumption, and are well matched for mobile air quality monitoring.

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are fast evolving technology for collecting data in real time. Every wireless sensor network (WSN) is consisted of technical and software components which have to refer to the selected application. The paper focuses on the selection of WSN components. The WSN will be situated in the center of Olomouc City (OWSN). It will focus on measurements of harmful air pollutants and selected basic meteorological elements. The criteria for selection of WSN components including the most important parameters will be chosen and the final evaluation of the option utility will be made on the basis of multicriteria decision making process.
