Design and Analysis of IoT based Air Quality Monitoring System

Recent aggressive scientific and technological developments all these focus on a global environmental issue considering air quality system, reveals the fact that India is facing severe health hazards. In recent reports, more than 10 cities in India are listed on top. The air quality index (AQI) in India launched in 2014 under Swachh Bharat Abhiyan monitors air pollution on 10 scales ranging from low (green) to moderate (yellow) to serious (red) through data analysis of various air contaminating matters like pm 2.5, O3, NO2, SO2, CO. The present paper develops an Internet of Things (IoT) that enabled air quality monitoring system mobile in nature analyzing real-time surrounding data measuring Carbon Monoxide, Smoke and PM level. The system can measure local area air contamination and generate analyzed data based on which it alerts the people through a buzzer device integrated into the system. The user-friendly and easy handling of the system technology is such that it can be installed in houses and in small places.
