In recent years, the environmental problems have become considerably big issues throughout the world. For knowing the environmental problems we have to measure the environment quality and get the data by monitoring the environment. Currently there are many researches are going on in this area. Those researches are using big and expensive environmental measurement equipment. In this reason, they cannot install enough equipment to measure micro-scale area. This lead us to work on a micro-scale air quality monitoring system named AirScope. In AirScope we are using small and cheep sensors for monitoring the urban air quality. In this paper we present AirScope testbed to reduce the problems when we deploy to the micro scale.

Today, the environmental observing systems are no longer strange to the people, and they are playing an important role in e-sciences, especially in researches about earthquake, climate, air pollution, etc. To be named as Airscope [1], this micro-scale air quality management system deals with unexpected pollution events in small scope, by using CFD-based air quality modeling [2], USN-based sensor monitoring model, DataTurbine middleware [3], multi-model interaction platforms and devices. Because of these complicated heterogeneity tools and devices, data transferring inside this project is very important and is a backbone for the whole system. In this paper, we will briefly introduce Airscope project and its elements, our indoor testbed and especially the data flows inside. We also describe about an extended actual system to apply in reality such as a small area in modern urban.

In this paper, we present a framework for micro-scale air quality monitoring and sensor management system. The developed system is validated in a preliminary test environment. The test result shows that it is feasible to adopt sensor networks for micro-scale monitoring. In the future, enhancements on the VR core modules will also be investigated such as enhanced interaction devices, mobile sensors, and display devices. Finally, we will also build web-based information portal to be used by citizens whenever the information is needed.

These days the environmental problem became the most sensitive issue through the whole world. There were lots of studies in progress for monitoring and managing the environmental data. However, it usually required expensive and huge equipment, therefore, have serious restriction on this kind of research. To solve the problem we propose a solution with sensors - micro-scale environmental monitoring system. In now day the environment monitoring have not much data to share but if the micro-scale monitoring starts it could not share much data with centralized system. If we change to distribute system it could share lots of data in one way. With this monitoring system we can monitor and manage data in real-time from sensors which were spread over the target area.
