### **Project Title**:

**Smart Air Quality monitoring System**

---

### **Synopsis**

#### **Introduction**
With the increasing levels of pollution and the widespread use of potentially harmful
gases like LPG in domestic and industrial environments, monitoring air quality has
become crucial. Poor air quality can lead to respiratory issues, environmental
degradation, and increased health risks. The **Smart Air Quality and Gas Leak
Detection System** is designed to continuously monitor the air for harmful gases
like LPG and smoke, providing real-time alerts when dangerous levels are detected.
Using an **Arduino Uno** as the central controller, this system combines **LPG gas
sensors**, **smoke sensors**, and a **buzzer** to create an efficient, cost-effective
safety solution for both indoor and outdoor environments.

---

#### **Working**
The system operates by using an **LPG gas sensor** and a **smoke sensor** to
detect hazardous gas levels and smoke particles in the air. These sensors generate
an analog signal when gas or smoke concentrations exceed a predefined threshold.
The **Arduino Uno** processes the data from these sensors and, if dangerous levels
are detected, it triggers the **buzzer** to alert individuals in the vicinity. A **voltage
regulator** ensures a stable power supply to the system, improving its reliability
and performance.

The system functions as follows:


1. The **LPG gas sensor** and **smoke sensor** continuously monitor the air for
gas leaks and smoke particles.
2. The **Arduino Uno** processes the sensor data to determine if the gas or smoke
levels are within safe limits.
3. If the gas or smoke levels exceed the threshold, the Arduino activates the
**buzzer** to issue a loud alert.
4. The system can be further enhanced with additional wireless modules to send
alerts to mobile devices or integrate with IoT platforms for remote monitoring.

#### **Hardware Used**


1. **Arduino Uno** – A microcontroller used to process sensor data and control the
alert mechanism.
2. **LPG Gas Sensor (MQ6)** – Detects the presence of LPG gas in the surrounding
air.
3. **Smoke Sensor (MQ2)** – Detects smoke particles and potentially harmful gases
like carbon monoxide.
4. **Buzzer** – Emits an audible alarm when dangerous gas levels or smoke are
detected.
5. **Voltage Regulator** – Ensures a consistent power supply for the smooth
functioning of the system.
6. **Power Supply** – Provides the necessary voltage and current for all
components.
7. **Breadboard and Wires** – For making circuit connections.

---

#### **Software Used**


1. **Arduino IDE** – Used to write and upload code to the Arduino Uno.
2. **Embedded C** – Programming language to develop the logic for sensor data
processing and triggering alerts.
3. **MQ Sensor Libraries** – Optional libraries for interfacing the MQ6 and MQ2
sensors with the Arduino Uno.

---

#### **Advantages**
- **Early Detection**: Provides real-time monitoring of air quality, ensuring that gas
leaks and smoke are detected early to prevent accidents.
- **Cost-Effective**: Utilizes affordable components, making it suitable for both
households and industrial settings.
- **Scalable Design**: Can be expanded to include wireless alerts or integrated into
smart city or home automation systems.
- **Real-Time Alerts**: The system ensures immediate warning through an audible
buzzer when dangerous gas levels or smoke are detected.

---

#### **Conclusion**
The **Smart Air Quality and Gas Leak Detection System** is an effective and
reliable solution for monitoring air quality and preventing hazards related to gas
leaks and smoke. By utilizing widely available sensors and an Arduino
microcontroller, the system offers an affordable yet powerful way to improve air
quality management in homes, offices, and industrial environments. This project
highlights the potential of combining basic electronic components to address critical
safety issues.
