Ambient Monitoring Using ZIGBEE Sensor Networks

A. Peter Manoj, A. Pravin Renold

Abstract


Air pollution is the major cause of global warming which is evident in existence. Industries, man-made machines, households and natural calamities such as volcanic eruptions are some of the factors. We present an overview and analysis of how wireless sensor network (WSN) technology could be applied for a long-duration and large-scale environmental monitoring. We deploy an advanced microcontroller based solution interfaced with sensors employing ZigBee technology .Pollutant data is subjected to mathematical analysis. We propose a novel pervasive monitoring system which aims to be transparent, user friendly, plug & play configurable and fault tolerant.
