| dc.description | The concept of quality of life is used as a measure
of the welfare of a society, highlighting the relationship between
the environment and health, mainly associated with pollution.
Hence the importance of monitoring and communicating its
results, in a timely manner, to the community. But often the last
part of the process fail, there is a lack of communication between
data, information and community. Using open hardware and open
source tools, and based on the Internet of things concept, a lowcost
citizen monitoring network, that cost less than US $ 150 was
implemented. This network measures Carbon Monoxide (CO),
Temperature, Relative Humidity, Particulate Matter 2.5, Noise
and UV radiation, with a reading frequency of every 40 s and a
hibernation period of 15 min. The environmental monitoring
network gather information from the environment, through
sensors, and then store it in a MySQL database, to finally be
deployed in a web site hosted on a local web server Apache,
implemented ex professo. In effect, the system is able to deliver
geotagged information and the state of environmental pollution to
the citizens.
