In today’s world, due to the fast growth in number of motor vehicles and industrial evolution, the environment around us is more polluted. The pollution majorly affects the quality of air and causes the major health issues to living beings. The major reason for atmosphere contamination is due to releasing of harmful gases like carbon di-oxide, carbon monoxide etc. from factories, vehicles and from combustion of fossil fuels. It is necessary to monitor the percentage of pollutant present in the air which will leads to environmental issues. To overcome this, we have designed a tool using IoT technology. The air pollution monitoring tool includes Microcontroller and Sensors that provides the provision to monitor the quality of air by detecting the harmful gases present in the atmosphere. The pollution level can be monitored remotely using PC or smart phones. The data is store in cloud and can be accessed remotely.
