Abstract
The presence of large peatland in Riau, Indonesia, could cause air pollution due to peatland fires which causes the presence of thick smoke every year in Riau, dis-rupting human activities. In order to monitor the air quality, in this paper, the main advantage of the Internet of Things (IoT) is the ability to transfer data over the network without requiring human-to-human or human interaction to the com-puter used. In this paper, we propose an air quality monitor that can display web-based information to show the temperature and air humidity, and detects CO, CO2 gases, and alcohol in real time with the help of DHT11 and MQ135 sensors, Arduino Uno and Raspberry Pie. The results show our proposed system can successfully show each parameter of the air quality on the website and make suggestions about the overall air quality level. With our proposed system, we hope the government can respond faster to mitigate the bad air quality level and give information to public about the air quality level in a faster and more accurate way.
Highlights
Air is a mixture of several types of gases in which the ratio is not fixed, depending on the state of air temperature, air pressure, and the surrounding environment [1]
Based on research conducted by volunteers from Wild Water Indonesia (WWI), Riau province has the largest peatland in Sumatra, covering an area of 4,044 million hectares (56.1% of Sumatra's peatland area or 45% of Sumatra's land area)
After the data have been successfully stored in the database, these are displayed in a web form so that it is easier for the user to understand
Summary
Air is a mixture of several types of gases in which the ratio is not fixed, depending on the state of air temperature, air pressure, and the surrounding environment [1]. Air pollution causes adverse effects on human health, climate and ecosystems [2]. One of the main causes of global warming is the emission of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere [3]. Based on research conducted by volunteers from Wild Water Indonesia (WWI), Riau province has the largest peatland in Sumatra, covering an area of 4,044 million hectares (56.1% of Sumatra's peatland area or 45% of Sumatra's land area). The carbon content of peat soils in Riau is the highest in all of Sumatra and even in Southeast Asia. Many people cultivate land illegally by burning forests, which causes the air condition to worsen, which is indicated by the presence of thick smog every year, which disrupts human activities [4]
