This article describes the development and application of an embedded system for monitoring of atmospheric pollutant concentrations based on LoRa (Long Range) wireless communication technology, which is widely used in the Internet of Things (IoT). The proposed system is realized using a combination of software and hardware and is designed using the concept of modularization. Separation of each function into independent modules allows the system to be developed more quickly and to be applied more stably. In addition, by combining the requirements of the remote atmospheric pollutant concentration monitoring platform with the specific requirements for the intended application environment, the system demonstrates its significance for practical applications. In addition, the actual application data also verifies the sound application prospects of the proposed system.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s18113891","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,11,14]],"date-time":"2018-11-14T10:58:22Z","timestamp":1542193102000},"page":"3891","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Development and Application of an Atmospheric Pollutant Monitoring System Based on LoRa\u2014Part I: Design and Reliability Tests"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Yushuang","family":"Ma","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Global Change and Earth System Science, Beijing Normal University, No.19, Xinjiekou Wai Street, Haidian District, Beijing 100875, China"}]},{"given":"Long","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Global Change and Earth System Science, Beijing Normal University, No.19, Xinjiekou Wai Street, Haidian District, Beijing 100875, China"}]},{"given":"Rongjin","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chinese Research Academy of Environmental Sciences, No.8, Da Yang Fang, An Wai, Chao Yang, Beijing 100012, China"}]},{"given":"Xiuhong","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Global Change and Earth System Science, Beijing Normal University, No.19, Xinjiekou Wai Street, Haidian District, Beijing 100875, China"},{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Remote Sensing Science, Jointly Sponsored by Beijing Normal University and Institute of Remote Sensing and Digital Earth of Chinese Academy of Sciences Beijing Normal University, Beijing 100101, China"}]},{"given":"Qiao","family":"Song","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Global Change and Earth System Science, Beijing Normal University, No.19, Xinjiekou Wai Street, Haidian District, Beijing 100875, China"}]},{"given":"Zhenwei","family":"Song","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Global Change and Earth System Science, Beijing Normal University, No.19, Xinjiekou Wai Street, Haidian District, Beijing 100875, China"}]},{"given":"Yi","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Global Change and Earth System Science, Beijing Normal University, No.19, Xinjiekou Wai Street, Haidian District, Beijing 100875, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,11,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"53","article-title":"Study on the Status Quo, Causes and Countermeasures of Urban Atmospheric Environmental Pollution","volume":"29","author":"Ge","year":"2017","journal-title":"Environ.
