Ammonia & CO2 Gas Detection of Poultry Farms and Compost Plants by Low-Cost Smart Sensing System

Poultry farming plays an essential role in the global food supply chain and is a major contributor to human protein needs. However, the use of intensive poultry production methods has been linked to the emission of a variety of pollutants into the atmosphere. These emissions can pose detrimental effects on air quality and public health and contribute to greenhouse gas concentrations. Compost plants play an essential role in the management of organic waste, converting organic matter into soil nutrients. The process of composting is associated with the emission of various pollutants into the atmosphere. In light of these considerations, a cost-effective CO
2
and ammonia gas sensing device with IoT integration for poultry and compost plants has been proposed. The platform has been designed to be integrated and easy to monitor the gas level as well as temperature and humidity from cost-effective sensors and other components, making it suitable for developing countries such as Bangladesh. The proposed devices have the capability to automatically regulate the CO
2
and Ammonia gas level when it reaches an alarming level. Moreover, the proposed system can be fully monitored and operated remotely in real-time from any location via a mobile application or the Internet. Furthermore, this modular and easily assessable device can be modified to facilitate in other industries such as dairy and processed food industries of developing countries.
