Abstract: Taking into account that air pollution is one of the most debated issues in the world, this paper proposed a flexible solution for
the development a chemical sensor networking able to collect and transmit data for the atmospheric pollutants. The
System_Acqusition_Monitoring_Warning-SAMW is composed by a large palette of sensors integrated within Digital Acquisition
and Processing System-DAQ, to convert chemical signal in electrical signals easily to be transmitted to a PC server. The air
quality monitoring data from different points of map is centralized by a software application. The new proposed software
application allows reading, acquisition and monitoring of analogue signals, voltages and currents correlated with the concentrations of
main air pollutants. The platform also enables optical and acoustic signalling when the pollutants exceed admissible limits. The
application allows both visualization and graphic representation of acquired signals in real time on the computer where is connected
the acquisition board. Continuously acquired data are automatically stored in a database to be sent via Internet to a central
server for analysis, processing, interpretation and warning. Following these warning, the human operator can take fairly and
expeditiously decisions on emerged technological risks. The reported results represent the first map of the cropped pollutants
from the atmospheric environment in the Romanian area.
