Airborne pollutants and dangerous chemicals are common in highly industrialized urban environments. These contaminants have the potential to seriously harm people's health by causing both acute and long-term conditions like heart disease, lung cancer, and respiratory infections. Not only does air pollution monitoring inform the public about the health risks associated with air pollutants, but it also helps legislators draft laws and regulations aimed at reducing those risks. As a result, the solution provides a portable air pollution meter which produces with using Arduino UNO, LCD display, MICS-6814 air quality sensor, BME 280 environmental sensor and Wifi module. The system will provide user data of air condition by detecting the humidity, temperature and preasure of the air using environmental sensor. It is also will provide readings of nitrogen dioxide(NO2) and carbon monoxide(CO2) to the user. This technology not only provide the data to the user but also can raise the user awareness about the polluted area. This will reduce the risks of the health by getting infected with any disease. It is a practical approach to reduce the chances of getting infected by diseases. The objectives of this project is to provide the air pollution meter that will monitor the air condition within small area by providing the data to the user. To summarise, this monitoring system will provide useful data to user and raise awareness about the danger of polluted air.
