Monitoreo y evaluación de los parámetros de calidad del aire como contribución en el empoderamiento de la comunidad de samacá en la toma de decisiones para la disminución del riesgo ambiental

Abstract

In the municipality of Samacá in Boyacá, there is a high rate of environmental pollution, product of the anthropic activities present in the region, one of the main polluting sources is mining, which particularly affects the natural resources of the region, polluting air , water and soil, which has repercussions on the health of the Samaquense population, in addition to this, the municipality currently does not have an air quality monitoring station, which identifies the necessary parameters to determine air quality and classifies them in contamination ranges. An algorithm was developed that allows the acquisition and processing of data obtained by sensors to acquire information on the air condition and thus be able to compare the data with the table proposed by IDEAM on the ICA (Air Quality Index), measuring parameters such as Tropospheric Ozone, Particulate Matter, Carbon Monoxide, Sulfur Dioxide, Nitrogen Dioxide, to be able to identify what range of pollution it is in and classify it in a range of colors, facilitating its interpretation. The collected information is processed for its visualization in a graphic interface elaborated with raspberry and its subsequent sending to the Initial State IoT web page where the inhabitants of the municipality of Samacá or persons of interest can access the information collected in real time of the environmental condition. .
