IoT Based Air Pollution Monitoring and Control System

摘要

Pollution related deaths increase every year and the leading factor for these deaths is air pollution. Air pollution is caused due to various elements among which pollution due to automobiles plays a pivotal role. Our work considers pollution due to automobiles and provides a real time solution which not just monitors pollution levels but also take into consideration control measures for reducing traffic in highly polluted areas. The solution is provided by a sensor based hardware module which can be placed along roads. These modules can be placed on lamp posts and they transfer information about air quality wirelessly to remote server. This information can be used for traffic control. The proposed system also provides information about air quality through a mobile application which enables commuters to take up routes where air quality is good.
