Sorin Nicolae Cociorva
Abstract:
The present paper sets out an intelligent instrument for a quantitative measurement of air quality, consisting of a some gas sensors, each of them being embedded into a adaptation module, an data processing and acquisition module provided with a microcontroller and a decision making, display and alarm system. An electronic nose composed of a high-sensitivity and low selectivity micro-sensors array, a data measurement, transmittal and normalization system and an intelligent decision making system is presented of an example of a qualitative assessment in air quality monitoring.
