Abstract

ESLAVA PEDRAZA, Jeison Eduardo et al. Generation of Particulate Matter Pollution Maps through Embedded Systems: Case Study in Cúcuta (Colombia). Rev. logos cienc. tecnol. [online]. 2021, vol.13, n.3, pp.86-97.  Epub Nov 28, 2021. ISSN 2145-594X.  https://doi.org/10.22335/rlct.v13i3.1433.

Currently, environmental pollution is a high impact problem, as multiple pollutants and mainly particulate matter can become harmful to health and even deadly, so the main government agencies have established strategies for monitoring and control through fixed stations. For this reason, the characterization of particulate matter in the Trigal del Norte neighborhood of the city of Cúcuta is developed by means of a mobile system adaptable to multiple structures, incorporating a graphic interface connected to the network for the drafting of pollution intensity maps. The proposed method has an exploratory/descriptive scope with a qualitative and quantitative approach, applied through an experimental design based on identification and selection of technologies, design and assembly of the electronic circuit, software development and technological integration. As a result, a compact system was obtained that presents intensity maps and behavior graphs, where it is observed that the data obtained from the measurement process present levels of contamination by PM25 and PM10 with values of 19.95 µg/m3 and 21.61µg/m3 µg/m3, respectively, which comply with the maximum permissible levels according to Resolution 2254 of the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development of Colombia.

Keywords : Air pollution; embedded system; intensity maps.
