Air Quality Detector using Arduino Uno

Abstract

   Technology nowadays is getting smarter day by day because of the use of Internet of Things also known as IoT. Environment conservation is one of the most crucial and critical topics which desperately needs to be discussed and acted upon. Air Quality Index (AQI) is a scale of measuring the quality of air in the surrounding areas. The air quality detector leads us the knowledge of all harmful gases present in the air and the also informs about the concentration of such gases in PPM (Parts Per Million). This high concentration of particulate matter is smaller and thinner than a width of a human hair (70 microns). The gathered data from the Arduino is then sent to the software where it combines and stores the output in a graphical form for any future references. This type of project leads to public awareness among the common people and helps them realize the great importance for environment conservation.
