IoT-Based Garbage Gas Detection System

The toxic gases emitted from garbage waste in houses or communities harm the environment and human health. Various health issues, such as respiratory problems and skin cancer, will occur because of these toxic gases. Considering such cases, it aims to develop a sensor-based system to detect the presence of ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, methane, humidity, temperature, and garbage level in the bin. The data acquisition and processing units collect and analyze the sensor data, generating real-time gas concentration readings. Hypertext processors and Arduino programs are used to obtain and monitor the readings of the sensors. Moreover, an exhaust fan is placed, which turns on when the gas levels or the temperature increases above respective threshold values.
