Project Synopsis: Air Pollution Monitoring System Using Arduino with MQ-135 Sensor

1. Introduction

Air pollution is a critical environmental issue impacting human health and ecosystems globally. Monitoring air quality is

essential for understanding pollution levels and taking corrective measures. This project involves the design and

implementation of an air pollution monitoring system using an Arduino microcontroller and an MQ-135 gas sensor to

measure various pollutants.

2. Objectives

- Primary Objective: Develop a cost-effective and efficient system to monitor air quality in real-time.

- Secondary Objectives:

- Measure concentrations of harmful gases like NH3, NOx, alcohol, benzene, smoke, and CO2.

- Display real-time data on a user interface.

- Log data for further analysis and reporting.

3. Components

- Hardware:

- Arduino Uno: The microcontroller board used for processing data.

- MQ-135 Sensor: A gas sensor that detects a range of gases including NH3, NOx, alcohol, benzene, smoke, and

CO2.

- LCD Display: To show real-time pollutant concentrations.

- Breadboard and Connecting Wires: For circuit assembly.

- Power Supply: To power the Arduino and other components.

- Software:

- Arduino IDE: The integrated development environment used for writing and uploading the Arduino code.
- Libraries: Specific libraries required for the MQ-135 sensor and LCD display.

4. Methodology
