Collection and Processing of Data to Optimize the Monitoring of Atmospheric Air Pollution

Abstract

The system of environmental monitoring in Almaty is a collection of data without analysis and processing, without identifying sources of pollution. An urgent solution to this problem is to expand the system of environmental monitoring of the city, since the foothill zone of Almaty is characterized by extremely weak resources for self-cleaning the atmosphere. When developing an information system to optimize the monitoring of atmospheric air pollution by heavy metals, the key stage is the collection, processing and structuring of data [1, 2]. The object of research is the air of the surface layer of Almaty, selected at the monitoring posts for the pollution of the air monitoring network. In the course of the research, a selection of sites for air sampling and determination of heavy metals in the samples was carried out. The received data were structured and prepared for inclusion in the created database and further complex mathematical calculations. Technical requirements and limitations to the information system are given.
