Air Quality Monitoring System Through Mobile Sensing in Metropolitan City

Abstract

The most hazardous form of air pollution is the particulate matter for the reason that it not only affects the human health but also has an impact on the earth’s climate and precipitation levels. This paper proposes an easy and cost-efficient method to measure dust particle, the volume of CO (carbon monoxide), temperature and humidity for the weather forecast. A dust sensor, gas sensor, temperature, and humidity sensor collects the data from the environment. This data is given to the Node MCU which is an open source IoT platform running on ESP8266. The ESP8266 is a low-cost WI-Fi microchip which processes the data. The Processed data is given to the IoT server. When the mobile application requests for data it is fetched from the IoT server.
