1. A system for tracking a concentration of pollution elements in air, the system comprising:
a plurality of air pollutant monitoring stations configured to obtain data from a plurality of air samples in real time or periodically;
an information logger, in communication with the plurality of the air pollutant monitoring stations, configured to collect and organize the data obtained from the plurality of the air pollutant monitoring stations in the real time or periodically;
a data storage, engaged with the information logger, configured to store the collected data into a relational database, create triggers for instances when air pollution parameters exceed a given limit value, and triggers an alert;
a geographic information system (GIS) configured to tie the data to a map, by integrating geolocation data with a plurality of geospatial data types; and
a web application configured to analyze the stored data, geo-locate the plurality of the air pollutant monitoring stations and the analyzed data, and generate reports based on the analysis of the stored data,
wherein the GIS is configured to generate maps mapping upcoming hazards,
wherein the generated maps are used to construct systems to prevent the upcoming hazards, and
wherein the generated maps and a generated wind rose are used to generate an evacuation path and locate a gathering area during the upcoming hazards.
