Abstract: The ambient air quality in a live hospital environment, as far as, within any working setting has relevant effects on heath of people. In this paper a wireless device for monitoring air quality is presented. Each node, based on commercial gas sensor arrays and a ZigBee wireless network interface, is local powered by plugging it into a generic light socket. No wiring is required for data transmission. Air data measured by nodes are delivered via ZigBee network to a database station where different technical analyses can be used to obtain pollutant dispersion information. This system is applied for environment monitoring and classification in various rooms: laboratories, offices and operating rooms. Thus, the wireless electronic nose approach is potential for automatic environment monitoring with regard to many industrial applications.
