Final Project Synopsis

This document describes an IoT-based air quality index monitoring system using an ESP32 microcontroller. The system measures particulate matter (using a GP2Y1010AU0F sensor), carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide (using MQ135 and MQ7 sensors), and temperature and humidity (using a DHT11 sensor). The data is sent over the internet to a ThingSpeak dashboard where the air quality can be monitored from anywhere. The system aims to help monitor air quality and curb pollution from industries and vehicles.

INTRODUCTION

Air is one of the most crucial elements in the life of human beings. In today’s world, air
pollution is rising at an alarming rate because of which there is climate change, and this has
adverse consequences on everyone. The air around us is getting polluted because of the
release of poisonous gases by industries, vehicle emissions which leads to an increase in the
concentration of harmful gases and particulate matter in the atmosphere. Hence, it is
necessary to constantly monitor the air quality index to make our surrounding environment
healthy and hence, worth living.
Air quality monitoring is a concept of providing the user with a platform where he/she can
check the quality of air around them. The air quality monitoring system will help us to
indicate the status of the quality of the air we breathe. Here, we mainly focus on the design
and implementation of an IoT based Air Quality Index Monitoring System that we have
intended to develop using ESP32 microcontroller. The setup is going to show the air quality
in PPM, temperature, and humidity with the help of various sensors and further, it would be
displayed on the IoT Platform, ThingSpeak. The dashboard of the platform is to be set to
public so that everyone and anyone can keep a track of the quality of air at the location where
the system would be installed. In this way, we can monitor it very easily by using our
computer or mobile. The motivation behind our project is to protect our environment by
curbing the release of harmful gases emitted by industries, vehicles, etc.

METHODOLOGY

Our IoT-based air quality monitoring system is highly accurate, easy to use, and quite
affordable. GP2Y1010AU0F is a PM sensor connected to pin 36 of ESP32. MQ135 and MQ7
are connected to analog pin 32 and 34 of ESP32 respectively. DHT11 is connected to digital
pin 2 of ESP32. The buzzer is connected to digital pin 18 of ESP32. GP2Y1010AU0F has a
hollow part at its center. So, whenever the fine particles are in the hollow detecting area, only
then they can be sensed, and accordingly, appropriate values can be obtained. The output is
calculated using the Dust density characteristics curve and is measured in mg/m3. Before
starting to work with MQ135 and MQ7, they need to be preheated and then calibrated.
Preheating means they need to be given a 5V power supply for 24 hours at least since they
work on the heating principle. We have used MQ135 for measuring CO2 concentration. The
normal range of CO2 in our environment should be around 390-450 PPM. As soon as CO2
concentration goes above 1000 PPM, the buzzer would start ringing. We have used MQ7 for
measuring CO concentration. CO levels in the air and its potential health problems are 0-9
ppm: normal CO levels in the air, no risk. 10-29 ppm: chronic problems over long term
exposure. 100+ ppm CO: severe symptoms-brain damage, coma, and/or death, especially at
levels 300-400+ ppm. The live data of the air at the location where the system would be
installed can be seen on the dashboard of ThingSpeak from anywhere in the world and to
achieve this, the device should be connected to the internet.
