Designing an IoT-based air quality monitoring system

Abstract

The air quality in an area very influential on the state of the population in an area because of the quality can affect both the health of humans, animals or plants. Therefore, it is necessary to periodically monitor air quality conditions in an area. In this study an IoT-based air quality monitoring system was designed to determine the air quality conditions in an area. The system will monitor using sensors to see the levels of several substances in the air including O3, SO2, CO and particulates. Reading sensor data using an Arduino microcontroller. Then the data sent to the ThingSpeak cloud system uses a WIFI module on Arduino by accessing the API provided by the ThingSpeak cloud service. The monitoring results will be visible through a web page provided by the ThingSpeak cloud service.
