Mobile station for the detection of Carbon Dioxide in volcanic soil

Abstract

This article presents the development of a mobile carbon dioxide (CO2) monitoring station based on the LI-830 sensor, available at the Physics School of the Multidisciplinary Faculty of the University of El Salvador. Through the integration of current low-cost technologies, the efficiency and usefulness of the LI-830 sensor were enhanced. Specifically, data transmission was implemented using GPRS technology, allowing for immediate transfer of data to an online database. This integration simplified data management and facilitated detailed analysis for researchers. Additionally, an online visual dashboard was developed to graphically represent the results, improving the interpretation capacity of the collected information. This work significantly strengthens the effectiveness of the mobile station for CO2 monitoring on volcanic slopes.
