Abstract
The advance of communication and sensor technologies has driven the development of surveillance systems that help to significantly improve the living conditions and health of living beings. The difficulty in accessing data, the high cost of conventional monitors and the low scalability of conventional air quality monitoring networks in Bogotá have motivated the development of air quality monitoring devices, communication and connectivity technologies supported by the Internet of Things (IoT) and the integration of a low cost wireless sensor network for easy access to the public. This document presents the development of a portable device for the monitoring of Bogotá’s air quality index (IBOCA) associated with the ultrafine PM2.5 and PM10 materials, the measurement of meteorological variables (temperature, relative humidity and atmospheric pressure) and the acquisition of geolocation The air quality monitoring device (AirQDev) performs a triangulation of the user’s geographic location by means of its geographic coordinates where he will have a personalized space within a web platform (UCAirQNet) to consult and download his measurements at any time, to follow up through the platform and a detailed search of how polluted the area where he performs his usual routes is. With this research, it was determined that the use of low-cost portable devices to monitor air quality has an important impact on citizen participation by providing real-time information about their environment, in addition to generating awareness in the community about the diagnosis of the most recurring contamination routes and the need to take citizen actions to mitigate this public health problem.
