Abstract

The monitoring of environmental parameters in active industrial areas where there exist potential sources of pollution, and even more so in the area of decommissioned or closure mining activities, is very important from the point of view of prevention of environmental accidents. In this paper, we propose a solution for the monitoring of the environmental parameters with the local acquisition and processing of the data and the transmission of alarm signals to a higher hierarchical level through the use of radio communications. A flexible hardware structure and software development concept are presented to be integrated into the national air quality monitoring network.

Highlights

  • The measurement of parameters of the environment and air quality parameters are among the most relevant information for humans and the other beings. It is known there are parameters like temperature, humidity, and volatile organic compounds, particulate matter, or CO2, which are highly relevant for the health of human beings

  • If the parameters are monitored at a long distance from the data acquisition points we have a remote monitoring system

  • The catalytic measuring principle is highly suitable for the detection of the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that’s means combustible gas and vapours

Summary

Introduction

The measurement of parameters of the environment and air quality parameters are among the most relevant information for humans and the other beings. It is known there are parameters like temperature, humidity, and volatile organic compounds, particulate matter, or CO2, which are highly relevant for the health of human beings. The measurement of these parameters can be made by periodically collecting air samples or through a monitoring process which means using data acquisition and processing system.
