Sensor networks are currently an active research area mainly due to the
potential of their applications. In this paper we investigate the use of
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) for air pollution monitoring in Mauritius. With
the fast growing industrial activities on the island, the problem of air
pollution is becoming a major concern for the health of the population. We
proposed an innovative system named Wireless Sensor Network Air Pollution
Monitoring System (WAPMS) to monitor air pollution in Mauritius through the use
of wireless sensors deployed in huge numbers around the island.
