Communication System on Wireless Sensor Networks using Raspberry Pi and Arduino for Monitoring Gas of Air Pollution

Gresik is one of Industrial City in Indonesia and there are a lot areas have many factories and also warehouses. Many factories and warehouses contribute a lot of kind of air pollution. Since there are some settlements located near to Industrial districts so it needs to have a module which is low cost and can monitoring air pollution. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) is one of concepts that can overcome those issues by combining the WSN technology for communicating and Gas sensor module for detecting gas in air pollution. This paper introduces a simple model of a low cost wireless sensor network for monitoring air pollution such as motor vehicle exhaust and industrial waste gases. This paper focuses on communication between the sink nodes as the cluster head and each of static nodes. However, the prototype module also was made and used for measuring the deployment gases in the some areas. Simulation and run prototypes show efficient and simple gas monitoring of air pollution using Raspberry Pi and Arduino. The measuring gases result shows the industrial districts area had all of gas measured. It is caused there are many factories and warehouses which contribute the air pollution.
