Abstract
Study of the impact of anthropogenic activity on environmental conditions from urban areas is one of the most important issues at a global level. Human activity on urban areas, such as commercial, industrial, transit, scholar and many-others, represents direct impact on the environmental conditions that influence directly on social and health issues. Monitoring and measure of variations on environmental conditions associated to human activity through time and space. In this work, a device was developed for real time monitoring of different geo-environmental conditions for urban areas: Geo Environmental Monitoring Station (GEMS), integrates different low-cost sensors and a web-based real time processing platform, for storage and visualization of the data. GEMS includes atmospheric sensors to measure particulate matter (PM2.5, PM1.0 and PM10), temperature(°C) , atmospheric-pressure and relative-humidity; noise(dB), ultraviolet-radiation, variations on the earth´s magnetic-field. GEMS can measure all those 9 different parameters and send them via Wi-Fi to the platform for real time processing and visualization The data is free and open access via internet. A dense network is installed on Queretaro,Mexico, a small city with up to 1 million habitants, located in central-Mexico, with an intense industrial activity. Up to 100 GEMS are projected to be installed at the end of 2023. With the data collected by the GEMS network, in combination with other parameters, such as micro-seismicity, magnetic-susceptibility, wind direction etc., a model for anthropogenic impact on environmental conditions is established. GEMS network is planned to be a very low-cost permanent monitoring-system, accessible to society, governments and private companies.
