Considering mobile device limitations, such as storage, computing power and bandwidth, we propose a mobile cloud computing in order to provide the necessary resources and for delivery of any multimedia data like maps, alarms or messages to the mobile user devices. The main contribution of this paper is the scalability of our mCloud-based pollution monitoring system. The system can be extended to the entire territory of the country and it integrates all sensor pollution data with patient databases. By using mobile technologies, users/patients receive alerts concerning the air quality levels through user-friendly messages. Keywords: Air Quality Index, Cloud Computing, m-Health, Lung Disease, Prevention, Alerts. 1 Introduction In this paper, as a part of our e-Health system, we focus on patients with lung diseases. The database of radiological images is used as a ground level for diagnostics and cloud computing is used to connect this system with data from the Airpointer system. The Airpointer system gathers raw data through various sensors for which GIS technology can be used to make visualization from the air pollution parameters. In the sections that follow, we present several related works that depict some important topics concerning our system (Section 2). Afterwards, the Architecture of the Air Quality Monitoring System is presented (Section 3). The experimental results present the outcome of the different systems and their interaction (Section 4). Section 5 concludes the paper and presents some possible future upgrades of the system. 2 Related Work Many authors (see [1] for example) try to find various ways to measure air pollution, to increase public awareness and eventually to prevent medical conditions that are in direct correlation with this environmental problem.
