Patent ID: 7287929

Claim:
A real-time, secure, smart contaminant detection network comprising: a smart contamination detecting circuit comprising a plurality of smart circuit components including a processor, a memory unit, a transceiver, an airborne contamination sensor and a means for disinfecting, all being connected to a portable central control station through wireless communications; a bollard tube, having a central cavity, is fixedly positioned in the ground and a bollard sleeve, having a secure compartment, and a plurality of apertures, covers said bollard tube; said secure compartment protects said circuit and allows said sensor to continuously monitor an area of interest without tampering; said transceiver, being coupled to said processor, responds to said processor and communicates with said control station; said sensor, being coupled to said processor, detects a plurality of airborne contaminants in said area and provides a sensor input to said processor through said transceiver; said sensor input further comprising an identification of an airborne agent, a measure of airborne agent potency and a type and quantity of disinfectant needed; a multitude of said covered bollard tubes being connected to said circuit and said network are deployed in said area; and said processor, cooperating with said memory unit, receives, analyzes and processes said sensor input and commands said disinfecting means to select a group of disinfectants to disinfect said area in real-time and an audible alarm system is activated by a communication from said control station with a control station transceiver.
