An IoT Based Air Pollution Monitoring System for Smart Cities

摘要

As the world's population is becoming increasingly urban, the cities are under pressure to remain livable. In recent years, the air quality of the cities has become one of the major cause of concern around the world. Thus, it is necessary to constantly monitor the air quality index of a city to make it smart and livable. In this paper, we propose and develop an IoT based Air Quality Monitoring System for Smart Cities. The real-time data of the air quality is accessed through the smart devices and analyzed to measure the impact on city dwellers. The smart devices are capable of measuring the Temperature, Humidity, Carbon Monoxide, LPG, Smoke and other hazardous particulate matters like PM2.5 and PM10 levels in the atmosphere. The gathered data is accessible globally through an Android Application.
