 Introduction
 In recent years, there has been a growing concern about air quality and its
impact on public health. Indoor air pollution, particularly in public restrooms
and toilets, is a significant issue that can adversely affect the well-being of
individuals.

 Unpleasant odors, harmful gases, and high humidity levels not only
create discomfort but also contribute to the spread of diseases and
infections.

 To address these challenges, there is a need for an innovative solution

that enables real-time monitoring and control of air quality in public
restrooms/toilets.

 Motivatio
n
 The specific motivation of this project are as follows:
> 1. Implementation a compact and portable device that can effectively
measure and monitor the conc. of gases such as ammonia,
monoxide, methane, and other relevant pollutants in public
restrooms/toilets.
> 2. Integrate a temperature and humidity sensor into the device to ensure
optimal comfort levels and prevent the growth of bacteria and mold.

 Problem
Definition
> In many parts of the world, including India, sanitation is not up to the
mark, with a lack of clean and ventilated public toilets, leading to health
problems. To solve this problem, a low-cost hygiene monitoring device
based on air quality standards can be developed.

> Smart washrooms have the potential to revolutionize public and private
restroom facilities, offering a range of benefits to both users and facility
managers. The enhanced user experience, improved hygiene, and optimized
maintenance operations contribute to overall customer satisfaction,
increased operational efficiency, and reduced costs. However, the
implementation of smart washrooms requires careful consideration of
privacy concerns, cybersecurity measures, and accessibility requirements to
ensure a safe and inclusive environment for all users.

 Objec tive
s
> Implement an IoT infrastructure using the ThinkSpeak website
> Incorporate a ventilation control system that automatically adjusts
the airflow
> Integrate an alert feature that sends notifications to designated
recipients, such as facility managers or maintenance staff, when the air
quality parameters exceed predefined thresholds or when system
malfunctions occur.
> Calibrate the gas sensors and validate their accuracy and reliability through
simulations and real-world testing to ensure the device provides precise and
consistent measurements

Department of Electronics & Telecommunication

 Methodology
> Gas Sensors (MQ135, MQ2, MQ4, MQ7): These sensors are responsible for
detecting and measuring various gases, including ammonia, carbon dioxide,
carbon monoxide, methane, and others
> 2. Temperature and Humidity Sensor (DTH11): This sensor measures the
ambient temperature and humidity of the environment.
> 3. NodeMCU ESP8266: This microcontroller serves as the brain of the
system, responsible for collecting data from the gas sensors and
temperature/humidity sensor
> 5. OLED Display: The OLED display module is used to present the real-
time data collected from the sensors.
> 6. Ventilation Control: The ventilation control system regulates the airflow
within the public restrooms/toilets. It can be automatically adjusted based on
the air quality readings.

 Projec t
workflow
> Start: Begin the flow chart process.
> Initialize: Set up the necessary components and initialize the
microcontroller (NodeMCU ESP8266).
> Read Sensor Data: Read the values from the gas sensors (MQ135, MQ2,
MQ4, and MQ7) and the temperature and humidity sensor (DTH11).
> Analyze Sensor Data: Analyze the sensor data to determine the air
quality parameters such as ammonia, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide,
methane, temperature, and humidity. Convert raw values to ppm.
> Display Data: Show the analyzed data on the OLED display for real-time
monitoring.
> Connect to ThinkSpeak: Establish a connection with the ThinkSpeak
website for IoT integration.
