T1 - GNN-DM: A Graph Neural Network Framework for Real-World Gas Distribution Mapping N2 - Gas distribution mapping (GDM) is essential for industrial safety and environmental monitoring, as it enables real-time hazard detection and air quality assessment. Traditional GDM methods, such as kernel-based techniques, struggle to reconstruct complex gas plume dynamics accurately. While deep learning has shown promise for GDM, two critical challenges hinder its practical use: the scarcity of available training data and the incompatibility of conventional architectures with irregular sensor layouts. To address these limitations, we propose GNN-DM, a graph neural network-based model for GDM that incorporates the relational structure of sensor networks to infer high-resolution maps from minimal, irregular inputs. The model is pretrained on synthetic gas dispersion data generated from measured wind data and fine-tuned on two industrial datasets collected on a ferry car deck and in a hot rolling mill. Compared with established GDM techniques, GNN-DM achieves higher accuracy on synthetic and real-world data, highlighting the potential of graph-based learning for practical gas mapping applications.

T1 - Development of a Low-Cost Sensing Node with Active Ventilation Fan for Air Pollution Monitoring N2 - A fully designed low-cost sensing node for air pollution monitoring and calibration results for several low-cost gas sensors are presented. As the state of the art is lacking information on the importance of an active ventilation system, the effect of an active fan is compared to the passive ventilation of a lamellar structured casing. Measurements obtained in an urban outdoor environment show that readings of the low-cost dust sensor (Sharp GP2Y1010AU0F) are distorted by the active ventilation system. While this behavior requires further research, a correlation with temperature and humidity inside the node shown.
