ABSTRACT

This paper proposes a fault-tolerant system design approach utilizing redundancies from the integration of microcontrollers, several air pollution sensors, General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) Modem, Global Positioning System (GPS) module that would utilize the wireless mobile public network to achieve the goal of applying intelligence in monitoring and control of environmental air pollution. The measured pollutant information was transmitted through appropriate communication channels to a pollution server for the purpose of data mining for trend analysis, forecasting, and Air Quality Index (AQI) assessment. Microsoft visual basic was used to develop a data mining tool that implemented an underlying artificial neural network model for forecasting pollutant concentrations for future time periods.
