Collection and analysis of air pollution data by big data techniques

Abstract

Air pollution has become a major environmental problem. Modern industries have developed so fast that the pollutants generated cannot be handled by natural environment itself. Therefore, pollutants accumulate and start to affect people’s health. The main source of air pollutants are vehicles, heat engines, power plants and power stations. Speaking of monitoring these pollutants, there are plenty of monitors and sensors around Singapore. All the data captured will be managed and published on the official website of the National Environment Agency. The objective of this project is to obtain, store, and analyze these data using Python program.
