 Need for the Project
● Air Pollution is one of the most serious and major
environmental problem worldwide.

● Human health gets majorly affected due to Air Pollution.

● An early system is required for monitoring and calculating

the level of AP using Air Quality Index (AQI)

● After knowing the quantity of pollutants, proper

precautions can be taken to minimize the air pollution
 Problem Statement
● To develop an IoT based Air Quality Monitoring System
and send sensor data to a remote server (ThingSpeak) to
perform predictive analysis using ML algorithms for
forecasting AQI value.
 Objectives
● To measure the amount of pollutants in air using IoT sensors.

● To store the sensor data on cloud server using open source

Software (ThingSpeak).

● To research and analyze the collected data and build a

predictive model using machine learning for forecasting AQI
value.

● To create a metric and calculate the parameters and compare

the differences across various times and environment.

 Data Analytics Algorithm
● These algorithms will be used for analyzing the Raw weather
data collected from the sensors:
❖ Linear Regression
❖ Random Forest
❖ XGBoost

● This Algorithm will be used to display it in a time series

forecasting:
❖ ARIMA, short for 'AutoRegressive Integrated Moving
Average'
 Performance Parameters
• Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE)
➔ Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) is quantitative measurements of
difference between the values those are actually observed and the
values (sample and population values) predicted by a model or an
estimator.
