Arduino based Real-Time Noise and Air Pollution Monitoring Alert System

Abstract

Climate change, noise, water and air pollution, as well as other environmental problems, are becoming increasingly serious due to the rapid growth of the human population, industrialization, infrastructure improvements, the development of cars, and the use of fossil fuels. It is crucial to keep an eye on these problems and offer strategies to solve them in order to guarantee a healthy life and a brighter future. A new area of study that can help with the monitoring of noise and air pollution is called "smart sensor networks," which combines computer science, wireless communication, and electronics. Here, we propose an IoT-based system for monitoring air quality and noise pollution that will enable us to keep an eye on and assess these factors in specific locations. The system monitors the air for the presence of dangerous gases or compounds using a variety of wind sensors, and it continuously updates this information on a compact controller. Additionally, our system keeps track of audio intensity and transmits this information to an online server using IoT. The microcontroller that interprets this data and sends it over the Internet communicates with the sensors. This enables the government to keep an eye on, manage, and take action against air pollution in diverse locations. Additionally, respected authorities may keep an eye on noise pollution around hospitals, schools, and other non-wooded places. If the system notices problems with air quality or noise, it will alert authorities so they can take appropriate measures to mitigate the problem.
