MASTER'S DEGREE STUDENTS OF AL-FARABI KAZNU HAVE DEVELOPED A NEW DEVICE
Master's degree students of Al-Farabi Kazakh National University have developed a new device that measures the level of air pollution and scans the air quality in real time.
The unique device was created in the laboratory of computer science at the Research Institute "Mechanics and Mathematics" of KazNU together with the industrial partner "Digital Alem" LLP. The young scientists worked on the new project for about a year and a half and presented their own environmental monitoring system to the public. The know-how is a small device that analyzes the level of air pollution, connects via Bluetooth to the user's phone and transmits the data to the server. The device also detects the location of a person. It weighs 150 grams and runs on batteries and can be charged via the mains.
According to preliminary estimates of undergraduates, the cost of the device is more than thirty thousand tenge. The head of the computer science laboratory, Edil Nurakhov, explained the principle of operation of the device: "The modules developed by us use various sensors to take in air and transmit data to the server via a GSM / GPRS transmitter. The server stores the data in a structured database. They are processed by mathematical models that allow you to visualize the ecological picture of the city on the map, determine the dynamics of pollution and make forecasts for further changes, taking into account various factors."
Young scientists of KazNU note that the new invention today, when the level of pollution in Almaty is very high, is more relevant than ever. And it will find its consumer in the face of city residents and business representatives. Citizens with the help of a portable device will be able to determine the environmental background in the premises or area of the city, and entrepreneurs will be able to choose business niches to form a list of eco-products.
The developers of the new device stressed that within the framework of the "Smart cityi" concept, using the new device, it is possible to develop an effective tool for preserving the ecology of the city.
