Abstract

In today’s world, air pollution stands out as a paramount global concern.
Air pollution can originate from either human-made (anthropogenic) or natural
sources. Atmospheric pollutants such as carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide
(CO2), sulphur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), ozone (O3), suspended
particulate matter (SPM), respirable suspended particulate matter (RSPM), and
volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have a profound impact on human health. This
issue is pervasive, affecting most major cities in both developing and developed
countries.
Given the urgency of the situation, the development of a real-time air quality and
pollution monitoring system is imperative. We have engineered an Arduino-based air
pollution detector that pairs a compact, cost-effective sensor with an Arduino
microcontroller unit. This detector offers several advantages, including reliable
stability, swift response and recovery times, and has a long operational lifespan.
Furthermore, it is a budget-friendly, user-friendly, low-power hardware solution
suitable for mobile measurement and straightforward data collection. The
accompanying processing software can meticulously analyze the collected data with
exceptional precision, making it an essential tool for understanding and addressing the
critical issue of air pollution.
