Abstract

In worldwide cities such as Mexico City, the overcrowding of people in well-defined areas causes a series of health problems. Air pollution is one of the causes, so governments finance fixed air quality measurement stations in strategic points of the city. However, they are not enough for such complex cities. The research aims to develop an affordable and valuable system for society. The design takes the best of several Internet of Things technologies and systems, resolves incompatibility, minimizes costs, and tests with two public interest situations. The results show the behavior in days of environmental contingency and its uninterrupted operation for a reduced cost of USD$ 250 that can be visited on the web.
