Smart indoor air quality monitoring system

Abstract

Internet of Thing or IoT in its simplest form means “Connect the Unconnected”. It makes our surroundings smarter and reactive as IoT enabled systems are capable of taking actions without human intervention. It has entered in almost all areas of life and has applications in various domains. Environment monitoring is one such domain. The air we breathe today is a mixture of harmful pollutants in high concentration. Not only outdoors, even indoors are not safe. This paper presents various IoT enabled Indoor Air Quality monitoring systems. It discusses what is indoor pollution, how it is degrading our health and how IoT is helping us to remain safe in indoors. It also stresses on the questions why indoor air pollution is to be addressed.
