People don't pay much attention to air pollution, but the fact is that the quality of air is important for various medical conditions. Current air monitoring systems can help measure a limited range of parameters. These air pollution monitoring systems are expensive. Therefore it's not feasible for cities to use these stations for the widespread area. That's why cities don't have efficient air quality programs in place.
Government should take action and implement air pollution monitoring solutions consisting of sensors and gateway with LoRa technology. LoRaWAN is a low-power wide area network that cities can use to measure air quality. Moreover, the data can help city governors improve citizens' quality of life.
With IoT, you can determine the air quality in a particular facility. Sensors and meters are embedded at specific places to identify the presence of harmful pollutants in the air. IoT solutions are powered by real-time monitoring, advanced analytics, and multi-channel alerts.
IoT tools help monitor air quality. Data about air quality is sent to a centralized place where AQI is monitored. It can be done from any place using a mobile application or a computer.
One thing should be clear: your living area must have clean air if you want to live a healthy life. But nowadays, air pollution is constantly increasing. There are various reasons for this rapid increase, such as industrialization, high vehicle mobility, and manufactured emissions.
In recent times, we have seen a massive transformation of cities into smart cities. One of the basic requirements for smart cities is to have clean air on their premises. Therefore, smart cities should have cost-effective and scalable air quality monitoring systems.
LoRaWAN is an effective solution for air pollution monitoring. It's a low-power wide-area network technology. Implementing LoRa with IoT solutions, sensors, and gateways can help preserve the environment. Moreover, they ensure the health protection of the public.
Cities need to deploy a network of low-cost air quality monitoring sensors for monitoring meteorological parameters and air quality. Using innovative technology for detecting pollution sources can help cities take corrective measures. As a result, it improves environmental health.
Let's briefly explain how the LoRaWAN-based network can help monitor air pollution. This advanced technology enables wireless communication, real-time data, and reporting.
That's how an effective LoRaWAN-based network can help monitor and improve air quality.
So far, we have discussed how LoRa technology can help monitor air quality. Now we'll look at some benefits of using this technology.
As mentioned earlier, when sensors and gateways are embedded with LoRa technology, they can cover a long range. They can provide pollution monitoring covering to various areas of a city, such as:
It means air quality monitoring systems are not limited to a specific area of a city.
Increasing air pollution is not only affecting the health of the environment. But it's also affecting citizens' health badly. To overcome this issue, cities are using air quality monitoring programs. Thanks to the advancement in technology, now LoRaWAN-based solutions are used for monitoring air quality.
These systems are easy to set up and maintain. So, if you need any help regarding LoRa design services, Arshon Technology should be your first priority. We have an excellent background in LoRa design services. That's why Arshon can be a perfect choice.
