Air Quality Monitoring System within Campus by Using Wireless

Sensor Networks
ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Since the industrial revolution, the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere has increased
significantly. Nowadays, the CO2 concentration has increased in the atmosphere at least a 30%
than in 1975, leading to increase greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming. This leaded
to a need in monitoring the pollution in the air. Hence we try to implement an Air Quality
Monitoring System.

EXISTING SYSTEM:

At present, pollution of air is measured by a portable air quality meter. But the main
drawback of this system is that we have to find the air pollution of each area manually. Instead of
that we’re trying to implement a Air Quality Monitoring System in each and every area as a node
and the information about the pollution is automatically updated through Zigbee communication
to IoT Application.

PROPOSED SYSTEM:
We present a solution to monitor CO2 emissions produced by vehicles within a university
campus. The system is implemented based on distributed sensor nodes by using ZigBee
technology. Several sensors were placed around the main streets in order to monitor CO2
concentrations. Data suggested that speed bumps generate increased levels of CO2, which are
emitted by vehicles. The data from the sensors is received by the Zigbee receiver and will be
updated over the Webpage through the Wi-Fi Module.
