Abstract
A pollution information message system provides a system and method for generating and transmitting pollution information messages. In one embodiment, the pollution information message system employs a transceiver network with a plurality transceivers coupled to monitoring devices. Control room operators receive a pollution information message from an identifiable transceiver. The transceiver, identified by an identification code, indicates a location and the nature of the detected pollution. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.

12. In a system that communicates a pollution information message in a wireless network that comprises wireless pollution communication devices, a wireless pollution detector device comprising:
-
a pollution detector configured to monitor and detect pollution events, the pollution detector further configured to generate pollution information signals containing information relating to detected pollution events; a wireless transceiver having a unique identification code and being electrically interfaced with the pollution detector, wherein the wireless transceiver is configured to wireles sly transmit a data message comprising the unique identification code and information related to the pollution information signals, and wherein the wireless transceiver is further configured to receive a pollution information message transmitted from a second wireless transceiver, the pollution information message comprising a second unique identification code associated with the second wireless transceiver, and wherein the wireless transceiver is further configured to wirelessly transmit a repeated data message comprising the pollution information message and the unique identification code; and a memory electrically coupled to the wireless transceiver and storing a communication path and wherein the wireless transceiver transmits the data message and repeated data message in accordance with the stored communication path. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)

17. In a wireless communication system that communicates one or more pollution information messages via a wireless network that comprises a plurality of wireless pollution communication devices, a wireless pollution communication device comprising:
-
a wireless transceiver configured to receive a signal from a pollution detector configured to detect pollution, the transceiver configured to transmit a pollution information message that is communicated through a transceiver network, wherein the pollution information message comprises information including pollution detector type, detected pollution levels, and pollution detector operational status, the wireless transceiver further being configured to receive one or more pollution information messages from one or more remote wireless transceivers, and forward said received pollution information messages along to a recipient device in accordance with a predetermined communication path, the wireless transceiver associated with a unique identification code such that a location of the detector is determined by associating the identification code with information residing in a database that includes at least the location of the transceiver; and a memory for storing the predetermined communication path that includes one or more wireless transceivers in the wireless network. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
