INTRODUCTION
• Technology has become an integral part of our day to day life.

• It is important for us to exploit the advancements as much as possible to gain more

benefits.

• In places like Delhi and other metropolitan cities, the air quality index is changing from
bad to worse.

• People living in such places should necessarily carry an air pollution monitor with all
facilities to keep track of air quality index.

• And take necessary steps to improve air quality in immediate surroundings.

 OBJECTIVE
• We are here with an innovation which emphasizes on providing an IoT-
Enabled Air Pollution Meter With Digital Dashboard On Smartphone.

• To display real-time air quality readings for the immediate surroundings.

• To have a better understanding of our surroundings and ensure the air quality
is not compromised by constant monitoring of air quality on our smartphone.

• Wide range of scope for this product to be used in many situations, and can
be upgraded into a more advanced system.

 MODULE -1: SENSORS
DUST SENSOR
• It works on the principle of laser scattering. The air enters through the air inlet where
a light source illuminates the particles and the scattered light is transformed into a
signal by a phototransistor.

• These signals are amplified by the amplifier circuit and then processed to get the
particle concentration.

• The intensity of the scattered light depends on the dust particles. More the dust
particles in the air, the greater will be the intensity of light.

• Output voltage at the VOUT pin of the sensor changes according to the intensity of
scattered light
 MODULE -1: SENSORS
MQ135 GAS SENSOR
• Gases that can be sensed by MQ135 SENSOR:
It is highly sensitive to ammonia (NH3), sulphide and benzene steams, smoke, NOx
and CO2. Low cost sensor. To measure the gases in PPM we need to use analog pin.

• Caliberations:
Resistance value of MQ-135 is different to various kinds and concentration of gases.

• Calibrate the detector for 100ppm NH3 or 50ppm Alcohol concentration in air and use
value of Load resistance around 20 KΩ (10KΩ to 40 KΩ).

• When accurately measuring, the proper alarm point for the gas detector should be
determined after considering temperature and humidity influence.
MODULE -1: SENSORS
MQ135 GAS SENSOR

Sensitivity characteristics of the MQ-135 for several gases.

Ro: Sensor resistance at 100ppm of NH3 in the clean air.

Rs: Sensor resistance at various concentrations of gases.

Value of Ro = Value of R in fresh air

Value of Rs = Value of R in Gas (PPM).
Calibrate the sensor by finding values of Ro in fresh air , then use
that value to find Rs using the formula:

calculate Rs and Ro to find the ratio. Then using the graph

calculate the equiv. value of PPM for that particular gas.
 MODULE -1: SENSORS
Temp. and Humidity Sensor (DHT11)
• This composite sensor contains calibrated digital signal outputs of temperature and
humidity.

• DHT11 sensor consists of capacitive humidity sensor and thermistor for sensing
temperature.

• The DHT11 only returns integers (e.g. 20).

• The temperature range of DHT11 is from 0 to 50 degree Celsius with a 2-degree

accuracy.

• Humidity range of this sensor is from 20 to 80% with 5% accuracy.

• DHT11 is small in size with operating voltage from 3 to 5 volts. The maximum current
used while measuring is 2.5mA.
MODULE 2- UI PART/ FRONT END
• Thingspeak can control hardware remotely. It can display sensor data, store and
visualise it, among other useful things.

• Thingspeak app :
It allows you to create amazing interfaces for your projects using various widgets.

• Thingspeak server:
It is responsible for all communication between the smartphone and hardware.

• Thingspeak Libraries:
These are available for all popular hardware platforms.
The libraries enable communication with the server, process all incoming and
outgoing commands.
MODULE 3 – PROGRAMMING OF
EMBEDDED H/Ws
• Arduino UNO:
It is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use hardware
and software.

Arduino boards are able to read inputs - light on a sensor, a finger on a

button, and turn it into an output - activating a motor, turning on an LED,
publishing something online.

• The ESP8266WiFi Module:

It is a self contained SoC with integrated TCP/IP protocol stack that can
give access to your WiFi network.
WORKING & METHODOLOGY
• The Arduino UNO board is used to implement the project.

• It is programmed in such a way that it processes the input from the three sensors viz. Dust
sensor, Temp. and Humidity Sensor, and Gas sensor.

• These three sensors detect various possibilities of air pollution and provide the input to
the Arduino board for processing.

• The Arduino UNO board is powered by an external power supply.

• It processes the input data from the sensors which are in analog form and converts them
into digital signal.
WORKING & METHODOLOGY
• The data is processed and sent to the IoT cloud Platform “Thingspeak”
through ESP8266 WiFi Module.
• The Thingspeak platform can be used to design our application
interface, store and visualize it using various widgets.
• It acts as a communication medium between the hardware and the
smartphone.
• So, the user can monitor the changes in air quality via a smartphone
seamlessly through the Thingspeak IoT platform app.
• The IoT analytics are available in Thingspeak IoT platform.
