ABSTRACT
More than thirty percent of deaths from stroke, lung cancer, and heart disease are due to
air pollution. Due to the current economic global situation where half of the world has
no access to clean energy, furthermore, it seems highly unlikely that internal
combustion engines will go out of business anytime soon, we face the reality that our
engines will continue to pump out harmful emissions. The main pollutants are
particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5), a mix of solid and liquid droplets arising mainly
from fuel combustion and road traffic. Thus, when facing the issue of air pollution
management, the current initiatives are focused on traditional air pollution monitoring
networks that imply the use of expensive instruments (gravimetric units), which require
specialized training, a large physical footprint, and massive power draw. Although these
conventional air monitoring networks provide the basis of understanding of pollution
trends and their associated health effects, it's reasonable to comprehend the lack of
knowledge (data, higher spatial resolution) in order to satisfy the increased public
demand for more personalized information. But, the measuring of air pollution is an
evolving technology landscape; the immediate solution seems to be the Internet of
Things. This technology can revolutionize the way we monitor the environment and
how we adapt to risks and challenges. The latest developments of remote sensing
technologies promise a higher density of data and allow to capture environmental data
near real-time. Although the current market presents various solutions for air quality
monitoring, there is an issue of data accuracy, how reliable are this new sensing
equipment?
This paper presents a case study to identify the confidence level of data captured by
wireless sensor networks composed of laser-based monitoring equipment. In the article
are shown the results of a comparison of PMs concentration data obtained from
gravimetric stations and two types of laser-based monitoring equipment. Furthermore, it
is presented a comparative analysis of the data captured by different types of equipment
using the same type of measurement technology. The case study is completed with a
comparative analysis of the data variability between the measurements captured with
the same type of IoT devices.
