Air Watch: An Ample Design of Indoor Air Quality Monitoring System

Abstract

The environment is getting contaminated drastically by introducing harmful materials into the atmosphere through the excessive activities of human in adding comfort and luxurious style in their living. The pollutant level in air has high impact of healthiness of the person inhaling it. Air not outside as well indoor is infected by various hazardous particles and gases. To assess the air quality in the particular environment, it stimulates the need to monitor the hazardous elements listed. The internet of things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI) became the part of human life by adding smartness in their daily routines from facilitating control over appliances to own health factor as well automate operations. The primary objective of the effort is to identify the gases that cause air pollution, measure the air quality, and assess the level of pollution so that we can determine which gases cause pollution and at what place is the air being impacted. An IoT based indoor air quality monitoring system is built through incorporating carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), Ozone (O3), particulate matters (PM) and volatile organic components (VOC) sensors into Arduino board. The design ensures a complete air monitor, extends reliable service at low cost. A rule based system is developed to automate events upon the estimated air quality index (AQI) out of the sensory circuit.
