DEVELOPMENT OF AN INTELLIGENT SYSTEM FOR PARTICULATE MATTER AIR POLLUTION MONITORING FOR INDOOR AND OUTDOOR ENVIRONMENTS

Abstract

This research reports the development of a fine dust monitoring system at PM 2.5 level. The system is able to measure and report dust values in real time in both indoor and outdoor environments. The results of the test measuring the amount of PM 2.5 dust in the air for an average of 24 consecutive hours for 16 days using the dust measuring device developed by the researchers showed a graph trend of dust levels that were similar to or in the same direction as the standard equipment of the Pollution Control Department installed at the OTOP Center, Tambon Nai Mueang, Mueang Ubon Ratchathani District, Ubon Ratchathani Province, with an average dust concentration difference of 6 micrograms per cubic meter. The research results showed that the developed prototype can be used. In addition, the dust monitoring system can retrieve statistical information of real-time and past time and certain data depicted in the forms of graphs and tables exhibiting dust particle levels on website through web browsers on computers and smart phones. Moreover, there is an alert system of the exceeding pollution value through LINE application when the set standard value is exceeded.
