Abstract
AbstractEvery country is working towards transforming their cities into smart cities. The cities are to be developed and sustainable solution to be provided more so as concern towards the issue of air pollution is ever increasing. The hazardous gases emitted from combustion of vehicles has been the major cause of it and it has led to increase in number of deaths year by year. For addressing this urban cities air pollution problem, an attempt has been made in the present chapter by building a low cost and real time monitoring system using Internet of Things technology. The system uses gas sensor to detect pollutants such as ammonia, carbon dioxide, aromatic compounds etc. and consequently transfer the sensed data to microcontroller. The data is then transmitted through Internet to server using Wi-Fi module. The air quality in the vicinity of sensor can thus be recorded and proper counteraction could then be taken in case of high level of pollution. By using Internet of Things and recording sensor data to a remote server, one can overcome the memory limitations and also collection of data manually from installed devices. Policy makers can use the live data via Internet of Things in implementing a smart city and thereby improve the quality of citizens lives.KeywordsSmart citiesInternet of ThingsAir pollution monitoring
