INTRODUCTION3BACKGROUND OF THE STUDYIn order to tackle climate change it is necessary to have reliable information on the greenhouse gases (GHGs) which cause this phenomenon.

Equipped with this information it is possible to make assessment of emission trends and also emissions mitigations policies, strategies and initiatives.

In 1992 the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) was established to coordinate and facilitate the observations and information required to understand climate change.

4PROBLEM STATEMENTSince 1990s, several kinds of monitoring systems for greenhouse gases have been developed.But due to lack of awareness and training for the implementation of such systems, still these systems are beyond the imagination of the ordinary man.Very high initial installation cost also de-motivate people to go in for such systems.Taking into consideration, these bottleneck issues with the existing systems, an effort has been made to device a simple, low cost easily usable GSM based monitoring system.5

OBJECTIVES

The main objective of this project was to measure the concentration of carbon monoxide in the atmosphere. Specific objectives were:To develop successful hardware module.Allow users to monitor the presence of GHG in an environment so that early precaution measures can be taken.What was done:Identified the various greenhouse gases.Assessed the impact of greenhouse gases on human life and the environment.GREENHOUSE GASES MONITORINGMany international organizations have initiated emissions monitoring schemes to manage risks from various air pollutions.Emission inventories are characterized by the following:

Gases they include The geographical area they coverThe sectors or activities covered and The time range over which gases are emitted. 7GREENHOUSE GASES INDICATORSHuman activities are now a significant factors causing climate to change.

Temperature is one of the most frequently used indicators of climate change.

It is possible to analyze changing climate over the past century with long-time instrumental records of average monthly temperatures.

How the indicator is used The greenhouse gas emission indicator is used to track process in effort to lower emission and reach our environmental performance objectives.8GREENHOUSE GASES MEASUREMENT

RESULT AND DISCUSSIONThe proposed system was found to be economical, portable and low maintenance solution for greenhouse gas monitoring applications.

Carbon monoxide is still one of the leading causes of unintentional and suicidal poisoning.

The recent emergence of various activities to monitor greenhouse gases emissions demonstrates both that there is growing commercial support for action on climate change and a clear recognition of the importance of monitoring and reporting such efforts.COST ANALYSISExpensesUnit cost GHPeriod (Month)Total cost GHTransportation403120Test book100100Stipends505250Electronics components350350Assemble of components150150Printing of draft thesis8080Printing and binding of final thesis300300Miscellaneous100100TOTAL1450CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONThe study on GSM based greenhouse monitoring system had successfully been done in this research, which lead to the development of a reliable and cost effective system.

The SMS section should be looked into to enable fast display of gas detection in the deployed environment.

Finally I recommend that, the proposed system be enhanced by implementing artificial intelligent components to enable implementations such as predicting and provisions of preventive measures.REFERENCESBarth, M. and J.
