Personal Pollution Exposure Estimates using Pollution Sensors and Health Prediction

Abstract: The aim of this paper is to design a wearable air pollution mapping system for an individual. For this it includes interfacing some pollution related sensors (CO2, CO and dust sensor) to the user�s body which will constantly monitor the surrounding air pollution levels and calculate the exact amount of toxic gases inhaled by the user depending upon the breathing rate of the user. Depending upon these values, the user will be alerted in real time by showing warnings where pollution level has surpassed the permissible limits. The data will be preserved and later analyzed using graphs and diagrams prepared in Excel using Visual Basic. The data analysis will provide the user with health prediction i.e. probability of immediate or long term health effects of various poisonous gases or pollutants.

Keywords: air pollution monitoring, personal pollution mapping, real time alerts, data server, health prediction.
