IoT Based Air Quality Monitoring System

Abstract

Air pollution is one of the most concerning fact of today’s world. Among all the man-made pollution, air pollution poses a serious threat for health. It affects human body through breathing and since this pollution is barely visible in eye, a monitoring system is necessary to stay cautious. This is the motivation behind our work so that government and citizens can stay aware of the air they are breathing. Our objective is to provide a system to measure Air Quality and AQI level using gas sensors. We proposed a city model where the monitoring devices are connected through IoT technology. In the central based station, all the city data is stored and analyzed using classifier algorithm to predict future pollution of a city. From previous dataset we got high accuracy. Our work is significant for a city modeling where the authority wants a full monitoring on pollution and also the citizens want to stay concerned about the air quality. The potential application of our work is for modern cities where pollution level is relatively higher. This system can directly impact on the city pollution control because when it is possible to monitor precisely, it is also possible to prevent pollution.
