IoT Enabled Air Pollution Monitoring System

Abstract

“Air Pollution is the major problem that we are facing now-a-days. Controlling air pollution in an area is becoming difficult and many people are facing a lot of health issues due to this increased pollution rates in the country. The increased amount of carbon monoxide (CO), smoke, carbon dioxide (CO2) have lead a severe impact on the human life. The growing number of vehicles and industries contributes to air pollution to a greater extent. This paper presents a model which helps in monitoring the air pollution through the use of internet of things (IoT) platform. Implementing it with sensors and arduino which will help the user to know about the temperature and the humidity level on the smart phone and accordingly the user can take preventive measures. Also the system detects air quality and if the amount of pollutants increased.”
