Abstract

This paper presents the synthesis of a SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) system, named Pollution Guard, designed to collect and process atmospheric pollution data measured in several strategic points of a region. Pollution Guard makes use of the GPRS (general packet radio service) data communication infrastructure from a mobile communication provider that covers a very large area, practically the air pollution data being collected from every place in the country. In comparison to other similar systems, the new functionalities provided by Pollution Guard are the SMS (short messaging system) and e-mail alerts generated when the level of toxic substances exceeds some given values, chosen with regard to respiratory illness
