Abstract

A system created to continually track and measure the amount of how pollution affects both the environment and human health.
air pollution in a certain area is known as an IoT-based air
In recent years, environmental monitoring has undergone a
pollution monitoring system. To gather and evaluate data on
significant change thanks to the Internet of Things (IoT). IoT-
current air quality, this system combines a variety of sensors,
communication tools, and data processing components. The based air pollution monitoring systems collect real-time data

system's primary goal is to give the general public, government,
and other stakeholders with accurate and trustworthy data on air
quality. The system is made to measure a variety of pollutants,
including particulate matter, ozone, nitrogen oxides, carbon
monoxide, and sulphur dioxide. Data is gathered from several
monitoring sites and sent for analysis and display to a central data
on air quality using sensors and wireless communication
technology. The information on the concentration of various
pollutants in the air is subsequently provided by processing
and analysing the data. Both a web-based dashboard and a
mobile application are available for the system, making it

processing unit. The data can be viewed through a web-based simple for decision-makers, authorities, and the general public
dashboard or mobile application, and the system is made to be
to access and evaluate the data. Compared to conventional
user-friendly. When pollution levels exceed safe levels, the system
monitoring systems, the IoT-based air pollution monitoring
can notify and alert users. The Internet of Things-based air
pollution monitoring system can assist in locating the sources of system has a number of benefits. Fixed stations are used in

pollution and tracking the efficacy of pollution control measures.
Also, it can aid in the creation of sensible regulations that will
lower pollution levels and enhance air quality. For regulating and
lowering air pollution levels, an IoT-based air pollution
monitoring system is an essential instrument. The system can
offer accurate and trustworthy data to assist decision-makers,
conventional monitoring systems to measure air quality.
These stations have a small coverage area and cost a lot to
establish and operate. Contrarily, IoT-based systems use
inexpensive sensors that can be set up across a vast area and
offer greater coverage. Additionally, these sensors are simple

health problems, such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, and government regulations that would lower pollution levels and
respiratory ailments. It is brought on by both natural and enhance air quality. The technology offers precise and
man-made factors, including wildfires, industrial pollution, trustworthy information on air quality that may be used to
agricultural practises, and vehicle pollutants. Regular guide policy decisions. Also, it can be used to assess how well
monitoring of the state of the air is necessary to comprehend various policies and initiatives are working to lower pollution
levels. In conclusion, IoT-based solutions for monitoring air

pollution are essential for controlling and lowering pollution

levels. The technology offers real-time information on air

quality that can be used to guide policy choices and safeguard

the general public's health. The system is a useful tool for

tracking and controlling air pollution because of its low cost

and wide coverage. A great illustration of how technology may

be utilised to address pressing issues and enhance people's

lives is the usage of IoT in environmental monitoring.
