Exposure to traffic-related air pollution and the risk of premature rupture of membranes: a cohort analysis of the Korean CHildren’s ENvironmental health Study (Ko-CHENS).

This project provides implementation support and guidance for developing a localized traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) monitoring and exposure assessment system. Inspired by epidemiological cohort studies linking maternal health anomalies to vehicular emissions, the proposed framework utilizes a network of low-cost environmental sensors to measure key traffic-related pollutants, including particulate matter (PM2.5, PM10) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2). The system integrates an Arduino or Raspberry Pi microcontroller with dedicated gas and optical dust sensors to collect real-time spatial and temporal air quality data near high-traffic corridors. The collected environmental datasets are processed using geographic information system (GIS) software to map pollution dispersion and estimate potential human exposure levels in residential zones. By

structuring the data collection and offering visualization support, this project assists engineering students in analyzing the correlation between vehicular density and localized pollutant concentrations. The resulting platform serves as a practical tool for environmental monitoring, providing a structured methodology to evaluate exposure risks in urban planning and public health research without relying on proprietary commercial monitoring stations.
