@article{(Open Science Index):https://publications.waset.org/pdf/3676, title = {Chemical Species Concentration Measurement via Wireless Sensors}, author = {Jer Hayes and Stephen Beirne and Breda M. Kiernan and Conor Slater and King-Tong Lau and Dermot Diamond}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {This paper describes studies carried out to investigate the viability of using wireless cameras as a tool in monitoring changes in air quality. A camera is used to monitor the change in colour of a chemically responsive polymer within view of the camera as it is exposed to varying chemical species concentration levels. The camera captures this image and the colour change is analyzed by averaging the RGB values present. This novel chemical sensing approach is compared with an established chemical sensing method using the same chemically responsive polymer coated onto LEDs. In this way, the concentration levels of acetic acid in the air can be tracked using both approaches. These approaches to chemical plume tracking have many applications for air quality monitoring.}, journal = {International Journal of Electronics and Communication Engineering}, volume = {2}, number = {8}, year = {2008}, pages = {1560 - 1564}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/3676}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/20}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 20, 2008}, }
