II. LITERATURE REVIEW

The system provides an affordable and flexible solution by integrating GSM-Bluetooth technology with wireless sensors. A Bluetooth module is also interfaced with the main microcontroller chip [1]. The system uses Bluetooth within a restricted range and sensors for remote monitoring and device control via SMS through a GSM module to notify farmers about critical conditions such as moisture levels, temperature changes, and CO2 concentration. The farmer is able to act promptly thanks to this information.

The system investigates level of pH in industry effluents, level of CO gas released during industry process and temperature of the machineries [6]. Monitoring's traditional goal was to confirm suitability for intended use. It developed over time to monitor changes in the quality of the air, water, and soil caused by pollutants, human activity, and waste treatment; more recently, it has been used to estimate the fluxes of nutrients and pollutants across different ecosystems. This evaluation includes background quality as well, enabling impact monitoring comparisons.

Reducing expenses and setting limits was the plan in order to reduce industrial pollution. The software model for device control automation is developed in LabVIEW through which the according to the need in industry the value of various parameters can be select. The user can observe the parameters readings taken from the workplace and control them.[8]

Having aimed towards several hardware and software implementation modules such as the semiconductor sensor array, the STIM, the TII, and the NCAP program have been successfully developed [2]. The NCAP's graphical user interface shows concentration levels and STIM data for three gas sensors that underwent standard calibration. In addition, the system has the ability to produce a low-cost version that could be used in developing nations and warns users when pollution levels become too high.

The use of Raspberry Pi to track temperature, pressure, humidity, and greenhouse gas concentrations at industrial and landfill sites. A Raspberry Pi2, a number of gas sensors, temperature, humidity, and pressure sensors, a Wi-Fi dongle, and a GSM/GPRS module make up the setup. Digital sensors that connect directly to the Raspberry Pi's GPIO pins include the DHT22 humidity and BMP180 pressure sensors. The MCP3008 analog to digital converter (ADC) is used to interface with the gas sensors MQ5, MQ7, and MQ135 because their analog output needs to be converted to digital in order for the Raspberry Pi 2 to work with them. the control of device via server application and SMS service has been implemented [7].

The paper presents a versatile remote measurement and data acquisition system for monitoring applications [5]. It has an outdoor design and offers easy maintenance, scalability, and reliability. It is appropriate for extended use. For monitoring applications, this system offers flexible remote measurement and data acquisition. It supports internet-based data transfer for remote monitoring and is implemented using traditional TCP/IP programming techniques.

Their main goal is to build widely available, reasonably priced sensor networks that can collect copious amounts of environmental data in real time from road traffic emissions in urban areas. They talk about the informatics difficulties in creating a high-throughput sensor grid and suggest a P2P e-Science Grid architecture, distributed data mining algorithms, and a two-layer network framework as remedies. The system can achieve a high performance based on the high-quality mobile sensing capability of GUSTO sensor unit which can measure pollutants at very short intervals [4].

The system consists of a remote monitoring station outfitted with an MSP430F149 MCU, sensors, a display unit, and a TC35 GSM module, as well as a monitoring center with a computer and TC35 GSM module connected via RS232. GSM network is a medium for transmitting the remote signal [3]. Successful remote monitoring functionality was demonstrated through demonstrations that validated the system's capacity to efficiently monitor, control, and enable remote communication between the monitoring center and the remote station.

III. PROPOSED WORK

The industrial pollution monitoring system will make use of several sensors positioned thoughtfully. These sensors ensure a comprehensive approach by covering gases such as CO2, SO2, NOx, and environmental factors. The target is a 0.1 µg/m³ resolution for particulate matter sensing and an accuracy level of ±0.5% for gas concentration.

The system makes use of LabVIEW's flexibility to acquire, synchronize, and analyze data. Through ADCs and MCUs, its graphical interface easily integrates with a variety of sensors. It records high-resolution data with a minimum sampling frequency of 1 kHz for precise analysis.

The system places laser-based particulate matter sensors and electrochemical gas sensors strategically in important industrial areas. These sensors determine the concentration of pollutants in parts per million (ppm) and micrograms per cubic meter (µg/m³) using the Nernst equation and light scattering principles, respectively.

When it comes to data acquisition, LabVIEW is the best. It uses methods like the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and Kalman filtering to reduce noise and improve signals. Its defining equation represents how it processes captured data efficiently by using algorithms like the Kalman filter.

Through secure GPRS/3G networks, real-time data transmission via SIM900 modules is made possible by GSM technology. In order to ensure prompt responses, it sets up triggers for instant alerts when pollution levels surpass predetermined limits.

A dynamic dashboard with trend graphs, predictive models, and real-time pollutant levels is displayed by LabVIEW's graphical user interface. Because of LabVIEW's robust visualization tools, stakeholders can monitor and interpret environmental data with ease thanks to its user-friendly interface.

Using zero/span checks and multipoint calibration curves, the system is subjected to rigorous calibration procedures. High accuracy and dependability in measurement readings are ensured by using linear regression analysis to derive calibration equations for sensors.

Through specialized mobile applications or secure web portals, authorized personnel can access the system remotely. The system uses encryption protocols like SSL/TLS to transmit data securely, allowing for decision-making and real-time monitoring from any location.

Because of the modular architecture of the system, adding more sensors or expanding the number of monitoring zones can be done with ease. Because of its modular programming paradigm, LabVIEW can easily scale to meet the needs of various industrial settings and changing pollution monitoring regulations.

The implementation of the system anticipates a proactive approach to pollution control, with a target of 20% less monitored pollutants in the first year of operation. Ensuring adherence to stringent environmental regulations and fostering a safer, healthier industrial environment are its two main objectives.

Improving cybersecurity protocols in integrated systems is critical. Ensuring data integrity and system resilience through the implementation of strong encryption, authentication protocols, and intrusion detection systems will protect against cyber threats and unauthorized access.

To evaluate a system's efficacy and dependability, extensive field testing in a range of industrial environments is necessary. These tests guarantee the accuracy and applicability of the system in real-world scenarios, together with practical insights and improved algorithms and protocols.

Conclusion

Technology such as LabVIEW, GSM-Bluetooth, and wireless sensors have been used in numerous studies to demonstrate the progress made in the field of industrial pollution monitoring. Building on this base, the proposed system makes use of LabVIEW\'s flexibility for handling high-resolution data and complex algorithms like Kalman filtering and Fast Fourier Transform to integrate various sensors for accurate pollutant detection. Pollutant level interpretation is made simple and timely alerts are guaranteed by real-time data transmission through secure GSM networks and an intuitive LabVIEW interface. Meticulous calibration procedures guarantee measurement precision, and modular architecture guarantees scalability and compliance with changing environmental standards. Reaching aggressive goals for reducing pollutants, along with strong cybersecurity protocols and a great deal of field testing, will help to establish new benchmarks for efficient and dependable industrial pollution monitoring systems.
