Abstract
Environmental monitoring is one of the key elements to ensure the most effective security measures in various areas of life. The most famous technology in this field is the gas detection system within the framework of atmospheric air monitoring. It serves not only for an early warning program, but also for a constant check of the state of the atmosphere in certain areas. In the guidelines of the World Health Organization (WHO), updated in 2005, solid particles (dust or suspended substances) are among the main indicators of atmospheric air quality. According to the requirements of Directive 2008/50/EC of the European Parliament and the Council of 05.21.2008 on atmospheric air quality and cleaner air for Europe Ukraine should establish zones and agglomerations according to the degree of atmospheric air pollution throughout its territory, as well as the procedure for their review. In general, the goal set by the Directive is extremely difficult for Ukraine ‑ to create a European monitoring system with modern equipment, which is a reliable tool for the development and implementation of environmental policy, on the remains of the air pollution control network that was created back in Soviet times. Nowadays gas sensors can be divided into two categories: conductive metal oxides and electrochemical, with the latter gaining more recognition over the last decade as the future standard component in any gas sensor. The paper presents the complete concept of an electrochemical gas sensor, including the basic science and basic electronic engineering that go into the device. The main focus is on a specific type of amperometric sensors as the most promising electrochemical sensor on the Ukrainian market. That is why the scientific novelty of the article lies in the fact that for the first time, on the basis of analysis and theoretical generalizations, it is proposed to create a program for the production of devices specifically for continuous automatic monitoring of atmospheric air quality. The practical value of the article lies in the systematization of scientific ideas regarding the monitoring of PM, which should become the basis for initial measures aimed at reducing emissions, which will increase the efficiency of management decision-making and improve the efficiency of the DSMD at all levels.
