IOT Based Air Quality Monitoring Device

The air quality in the past years has fallen dramatically, creating serious global environmental and health concerns. This project talks about the development of an Internet of Things-based air quality monitoring device that aims to continuously measure and report on certain air quality parameters. This system utilises an Arduino microcontroller as a base for several sensors, including humidity and temperature sensors, particulate matter monitoring sensors, and gas sensors like MQ135. The data uploaded is to a cloud server in real-time on the basis of the present modules of wireless connectivity for easy and remote accessibility to monitor. Apart from that, this technology may be used in the widescale environmental monitoring network while making information easily accessible to the respective user. With the inclusion of IoT, real-time alerts concerning pollutant level can go a long way in enhancing awareness and can help in taking informed decisions that will reduce air pollution. This research solution addresses the critical need in air quality monitoring since it is cheap, scalable, and efficient.
