Smart Embedded Framework of Real-Time Pollution Monitoring and Alert System

ABSTRACT

The sustainability and progress of humanity depend on a clean, pollution-free environment, which is essential for good health and hygiene. Huge indoor auditorium does not have proper ventilation for air flow so when the auditorium is crowded the carbon di-oxide is emitted and it stays there for many days this may be a chance to spreading of COVID-19 and other infectious diseases. Without proper ventilation virus may present in the indoor auditorium. In the proposed system, emissions are detected by air, noise, and dust sensors. If the signal limit is exceeded, a warning is given to the authorities via an Android application and WiFi, and data is stored in cloud networks. In this active system, CO2 sensor, noise sensor, dust sensor, Microcontroller and an exhaust fan are used. This ESP-32 based system is developed in Arduino Integrated Development Environment (Aurdino IDE) to monitor air, dust and noise pollution in an indoor auditorium to prevent unwanted health problems related to noise and dust. More importantly, using IoT Android Application is developed in Embedded C, which continuously records the variation in levels of 3 parameters mentioned above in cloud and display in Android screen. Also, it sends an alert message to the users if the level of parameters exceeds the minimum and maximum threshold values with more accuracy and sensitivity. Accuracy and sensitivity of this products are noted which is very high for various input values. © 2022 IEEE.
