Desigining of air quality alert system

Abstract

The objective of the project is to increase public awareness and understanding of air pollution, increase environmental monitoring, and ultimately contribute to better air quality management. The system can be applied in residential, industrial, and urban areas so that individuals will be alerted and protected from detrimental air pollutants that can cause harm and adverse effects to health and well-being.
An air quality alert system is necessary to inform the public when air pollution levels reach unhealthy levels, allowing people to take necessary precautions to protect their health, such as reducing outdoor activity, wearing masks, or staying indoors, by providing real-time information about air quality conditions in their area and potential health risks associated with them.
An Microcontroller based Air Quality Alert System is a state-of-the-art solution for real-time air quality monitoring and assessment, providing timely alerts to individuals and authorities about potential health hazards caused by air pollution.
Utilizing an Arduino sensor network (e.g., particulate matter (PM2.5, PM10), carbon dioxide (CO2), temperature, and humidity), the system continues to collect environmental data from various locations. This data is transmitted to a cloud platform, where it is processed and analyzed to determine the air quality index (AQI). If the AQI goes beyond safety thresholds, the system generates automated warnings, which are transmitted to users through a mobile app or SMS. The warning system can also supply advice to local authorities for real-time response, such as initiating pollution control measures or issuing health warnings.
