Widespread system for the detection of environmental pollution, in particular of atmospheric pollution

摘要

A distributed system for the detection of environmental pollution, in particular for atmospheric pollution, characterised in that it comprises, joined to a distributed system of lighting points within an urban area, a plurality of detection units comprising sensors for environmental pollution parameters, said plurality representing a total number lower than that of said lighting points; carrier current communication means between a central management unit and the single detection units, said carrier current communication means being arranged so as to use the lines for transport and distribution of electric power to said lighting points or, if a dedicated control line commanding activation of said lighting points is present, said detection units being provided with a microprocessor unit operatively associated with environmental parameter detectors and a carrier current transceiver.
