Abstract: Environmental pollution and environmental problems are one of the problems that people have to solve urgently and worry about their negative consequences. The existing mechanisms to prevent environmental pollution are inadequate. The development and dissemination of technology makes it possible to effectively use smartphones and mass media. As an alternative to existing solutions and control systems in order to prevent and struggle environmental pollution, a time and location based mobile application has been developed that enables one to record the environmental pollution and share it. The mobile application aims to facilitate communication between individuals and public institutions for collective environmental action. Through the application, the individuals can photograph and comment on the points where the pollution is detected, and the images are stored in the cloud system after the sharing process. With the help of the system, the authorities in the region can see the pollution on the map with time and location information. Pollution can be detected instantaneously 7 days and 24 hours by application.
