The Application of Zigbee Based Wireless Sensor Network and GIS in the Air Pollution Monitoring

With the fast development of the industrialization and urbanization process in the world, the various issues of air pollution are appearing, and most of all are health-related issues. So the air pollution monitoring should be focused on by the human. The paper reviews the development of the technology of air pollution monitoring, point out the shortages of the current monitoring technology, and bring forward the advantage of the technology of the ZigBee based wireless sensor network in air pollution monitoring, discusses the GIS technology, focusing on the requirements of air pollution monitoring system. Finally, based on the above mentioned, the application schema of the ZigBee based WSN and GIS is designed and discussed in detail.
