Project Summary

Air pollution has become a common phenomenon everywhere. Especially in the urban areas, air pollution is a real-life problem. A lot of people get sick only due to air pollution. In the urban areas, the increased number of petrol and diesel vehicles and the presence of industrial areas at the outskirts of the major cities are the main causes of air pollution. The problem is seriously intensified in the metropolitan cities. Also, the climate change is now apparent. The governments all around the world are taking every measure in their capacity. Many European countries have aimed to replace petrol and diesel vehicles with the electric vehicles by 2030. Even India has aimed to do so by 2025. The use of coal for electricity generation is now going to be a thing of past. The nations are now focusing to generate energy from nuclear reactors and the renewable resources like solar energy, wind energy and hydroelectric power. 

It is now important to monitor air pollution in real time in most of the urban areas. This project is aimed at developing an IOT device which can monitor air pollution in real time and log data to a remote server. Remote monitoring was facilitated using classical motes in the past, which has some pitfalls like limited memory, processing speed and complex programming strategies. By using Internet of Things and recording sensor data to a remote server, the limitations of memory in the monitoring devices and manual collection of data from the installed devices can be overcome. The IOT also helps monitoring the data in real time.

Project Objectives

• To design a prototype which can monitors the quality of air in our environment.
• Content of various gases in our environment.
•  To display the data on liquid crystal display.
• To reduce the factors affecting the health of human being due global gases.
• To monitor climate change up to certain level.

Project Implementation Method

The major chip of the system is LM393 and MQ135 are gas sensing analysis . The Arduino or Genuino Uno is a modern microcontroller board based on the ATmega328P. It is simply related to a computer by a USB link or power. Connected to an AC-to-DC convertor or battery source to become commenced. Using jumper wires the MQ135 gas sensor unit is linked to the  
 
arduino Uno board. The sensors analog pin is then related to the analog pin 0 and digital pin to digital 8 on the arduino board, while +5V and the GND (ground) pins on the sensor unit are linked to the 5V Vcc and GND (ground) pin correspondingly on the arduino board. Using USB connection, the arduino Uno board is then linked to a computer system. This part elaborates the hardware and software instruments and structural design of the detector. 

Benefits of the Project

• Sensors are effortlessly accessible.
• Connect many sensors to know substance of all gases display in air.
•  Recognizing an extensive variety of gases, including CO, MH4, liquor, smoke and so forth.
• Straightforward and reduced.
•  Sensors have long duration.
•  Straightforward Drive circuit.
•  Framework is Real time.
• Visual yield.
• Consistent refresh of progress in level of value. 

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

We have developed an Arduino based air pollution detector which is a very effective air pollution monitoring system. Based on the performance we can say that it is easy to use, and functionality is comparable to the expensive existing air pollution detectors. It is a microcontroller based portable system. It is efficient and user-friendly air quality detection system.
