End-of-Life Vehicle (ELV) Emission Evaluation Using IoT in Malaysia

End-of-life (ELV) initiatives are at its infancy stage which required multi-level involvement of the public, non-government organisations (NGO), industries, local governments and government agencies. Its implementations revolve around disposing of old cars and its disassembly operations, involve extracting valuable materials and systematically disposing of the remaining waste. During these operations, it is expected that pollution, especially air pollution released into the environment. Without proper understanding and controls, it will harm both the environment and people. The purpose of this paper is to create an air pollution emission evaluation system for ELV industries using IoT applications. Parameters that are monitored include temperature, wind speed, wind direction, humidity, five-parameter emission SO2, NO, NO2, CO, CO2, and particulate matters – PM2.5 & PM10 as well as typical refrigerant gasses. This article discusses the operations of this system and the example of collected data in two days study. It is expected that local governments as well as stakeholders including many government agencies will use the data in this project to evaluate the effectiveness of ELV operations.
