Android based Air Pollution Monitoring System

Abstract

Air pollution is one of the most important concern of the world. Air pollution may emerge from anthropogenic or natural sources. Air pollutants like CO, CO₂, SO_2, NO₂, and O₃ suspended particulate matter (SPM) in atmosphere, repairable suspended particulate matter (RSPM), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have considerable effect on the people health. Most of the cities in developing countries and most cities of the developed countries are suffering from this problem. Therefore a need to develop a real time air quality and pollution monitoring system is critical. An arduino based air pollution detector is developed which combined a small-sized, minimum-cost sensor to an arduino microcontroller unit along with this we are using machine learning. The advantage being that all the data of a location will be available to us on an android application platform.  Features being that it is user-friendly, affordable, low-cost and minimum-power requirement hardware which is appropriate for mobile measurement, as well as comprehensible data collection. Software on android platform will be able to analyze, collected data with high precision. Simple instrument developed further can be commercially utilized.
