Project Title

Air Quality Monitoring Using IoT

Project Area of Specialization RoboticsProject Summary

The air we inhale straightforwardly impacts our wellbeing, thus keeping up an ideal nature of air is significant to sustenance. Air contamination is a genuine worry, with a plenty of sources. From indoor air contamination to mechanical and vehicular discharges, all of which are adverse to our wellbeing. Confirmations indicate how drawn out introduction of kids to indoor contaminations corrupt youngster development. Indoor air contamination is likewise a noteworthy supporter of the national weight of ailment in India. 

 The different wellsprings of indoor air contamination incorporate consuming of stoves, incense sticks and so on. Additionally, the fundamental contributing sources to open air contamination may incorporate vehicle fumes exhaust, flames, and gas controlled motors. The significant air toxins constitute ozone, particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and also sulphur dioxide (SO2), and carbon monoxide (CO). Out of these toxins, carbon monoxide harming is an intense and deadly harming in numerous nations. From the previously mentioned sources deficient burning of powers is the fundamental wellspring of carbon monoxide, certain sort of paints additionally creates CO. The principle focuses of CO are iron or copper containing destinations, for us human the red blood cells. Carbon monoxide responds with haemoglobin show in cells to frame a particle which can't convey oxygen to different parts of the body, consequently prompting cerebral pain, wooziness and so forth. A legitimate comprehension of the sources and extent of air poisons is important in creating techniques to control air contamination. This can be accomplished by creating exact observing techniques. Such exact checking concentrates the convergences of toxins in different parts of land territory. It likewise gives us the reliance of these toxins on different ecological components, for example, temperature, moistness and different contaminations. 

          

Project Objectives

The objectives of this Air Quality Monitoring System is to create a tool which will monitor the quality of air of our environment:

  1. To Monitor the Real-Time Air Quality by sensing values.
  2. To build hybrid Applications that can maintain the history of Air quality And Display    the          measured         values with     full       graphical          and      statistical             representation after a predetermined interval of time.
  3. To Build a mobile application with some prodigious configured features like runtime warning alerts , gas usage details , graphical representation of your daily air iv) Online and offline data storing 

v) Remotely control device 

Project Implementation Method

IOT Based Air Pollution Monitoring System monitors the Air Quality over a webserver using internet and will trigger an alarm when the air quality goes down beyond a certain level, means when there are amount of harmful gases present in the air like CO2, smoke, alcohol, benzene, NH3, NOx and LPG. The system will show the air quality in PPM on the LCD and as well as on webpage so that it can be monitored very easily. Temperature and Humidity is detected and monitored in the system

Benefits of the Project
  1. Industrial perimeter
  2.  monitoring
  3.  ii) Indoor air quality monitoring. 
  4. iii) Site selection for reference monitoring stations. 

iv)  Making data available to use

Millions of people worldwide die prematurely as a consequence of air pollution. Many of these deaths occur in large cities, where exhaust from cars, factories, and power plants fills the air with hazardous particles.Air quality nowadays has been degraded to a large extent that it has become a necessary criteria for us to monitor its quality. The quality of air has been affected by various factors like industrial emission, vehicular transmission etc. The evolution of various technology like the Internet of Things, Raspberry Pi, it has become easier for us to deploy sensors and allow to detect the quality of air in real time. The Internet Of things is a term for various devices communicating with each other which was not possible before since the different devices use different kind of data which has been overcome by the use of single board computer (Raspberry Pi). Integration of IOT with Sensor nodes with the help of Raspberry Pi for Air Quality Monitoring provides an effective way than the approaches that were previously used. Sensor web node is proposed with commercial gas sensors for detecting the gases to monitor both indoor and outdoor air quality. The results obtained through these sensors are then evaluated
