AIR QUALITY MONITORING SYSTEM

Abstract

Air pollution refers to presence ofharmful and poisonous chemical or particles in air. Air pollutions’ short time effects on human health include pneumonia or bronchitis, irritation to the nose, throat, eyes, or skin, it can also cause headaches, dizziness, and nausea. Whereas long term exposure to air pollution may lead to heart disease, lung cancer, and respiratory diseases such as emphysema. Air pollution can also cause long term damage to people's nerves, brain, kidneys, liver, and other organs. People living in under developed countries with poor air-quality controls and health checks experience the most exposure to harmful gases particularly in industrial areas. Air qualities link with industrialization, societal health problems associated with poor air quality disproportionately affect both developed and developing nations. It is easier to take preventive actions against pollutants once they are detected. This report presents a project entitled Air Quality Monitoring System which represents quantity of air pollutants detected in area of devices. Reading for air quality index (AQI) in unhealthy condition is detected by sensors, the system will send alert if quantity of pollutants passes that ofthreshold limit. In this way information about the unhealthy environment will quickly be known for ease of initial steps and security measures taken
