WEB Geographic Information System and the Hardware and Software Ensuring Rapid Assessment of Air Pollution

Abstract

This paper touches upon the experience of research and development of hardware and software for air pollution monitoring of industrial cities, carried out at the Institute of Computational Modeling of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Functional possibilities, architectural features, and user interface of the distributed web geographic information system of ecological monitoring of the city of Krasnoyarsk, which is being developed in service-oriented architecture, are discussed. Data are collected from automated posts for observing the state of atmospheric air and services of aggregation and representation of information in the form of interactive graphs and thematic maps in the web interface. An original device is developed for measuring the pollution level of the atmosphere with fine dust (PM2.5), the data from which is fed in real time to the system via a cellular network. A system is formed for integral assessment of the pollution level of the atmosphere based on Air Quality Index (AQI) calculations.

Monitoring and assessment of the state of the atmosphere over the Yenisei riverbed using drone

“…Some of the elements were printed using a 3d-printer (Figure 1). The authors have experience in such developments; a similar device for stationary placement was previously implemented [5].…”

Air monitoring system of the Krasnoyarsk Science Center SB RAS

“…The system is based on many years of experience in scientific research and development in the field of solving problems of environmental monitoring and assessment of the state of the natural environment by a team of authors from the Institute of Computational Modeling SB RAS (ICM SB RAS) [10].…”

The state of the atmosphere in the city of Krasnoyarsk (Russia) in indicators of sustainable development

“…The Institute of Computational Modeling (ICM SB RAS) also conducts research and development of software and hardware for atmospheric pollution monitoring. A research monitoring unit has been developed based on the geoportal software and technology platform (Shaparev and Yakubailik 2016;Shaparev et al 2018;Yakubailik et al 2018). The system provides data collection from external sources, data storage and aggregation, automatic calculation of derived indicators, uploading and presentation of data through a web interface.…”
