Abstract

Certain Greenhouse gases present in the atmosphere cause a serious threat to earth, since it will lead to global warming, ozone depletion etc. The emission of such green house gases should be monitored and controlled. A wireless environment monitoring system with a capability to monitor greenhouse gases such as CO, CO2 , SOx , NOx , and O2 with environmental parameter is developed in the existing system. But there is no provision for the controlling unit. In the proposed work, a circuit for both the monitoring and controlling of the major greenhouse gases such as CO2 , SO2 is designed. So the overall system involves three processes namely, sensing the outlet gas, monitoring the process and controlling the concentration level of the gas. The Electrostatic precipitation method is used as a controlling mechanism, which can collect particles sized 0.1 to 10 microns very efficiently. The developed module is designed and implemented using LabVIEW software.
