Abstract
Problems related to the monitoring of environmental parameters, and in particular air-pollution in urban agglomerations, are some of the more publicly discussed public issues in recent times. This paper presents the concept, functionality, main hardware and software components, and test results of low-cost prototype of the system, enabling monitoring of environmental parameters such as air-pollution, temperature, humidity, pressure and UV radiation. The main features of this solution are its low cost, relatively high precision of measurement and the ability to operate in mobile version, without wired power supply and communication, including GPS coordinates as one of the measured parameters. The prototype can be an alternative to expensive professional solutions and a base for developing more advanced sensor networks. For home use it can be used as a home weather station with an air pollution sensor, being an extension of the of Personal Area Network of the recently popular Internet of Things solutions.
