Air Quality Monitoring System

This document describes an air quality monitoring system using an Arduino Uno board. The system uses an MQ-135 gas sensor to detect pollutants and a BMP180 sensor to measure temperature and pressure. It displays real-time air quality data on an LCD screen based on the air quality index. The code prints the air quality level and a message to the serial monitor and LCD depending on the AQI value.

How can air pollution be monitored?

AIR QUALITY IS A MEASURE OF HOW CLEAN OR THE SENSORS ARE MOST SUITABLE FOR THESE ARE PORTABLE MONITORING TOOLS THAT

What is the MQ-135 sensor?
• MQ-135 is a gas sensor that has lower conductivity in clean air. It is
low cost and suitable for different applications.
This module operates at 5V, has 33Ω±5% resistance, and consumes
around 150mA.
This sensor has four pins from four pins, Digital and Analog output
pins, which are used to approximate these gasses levels in the
atmosphere. 
When these gasses go beyond a threshold limit in the air, the
digital pin rises.
This threshold value can be set by using the onboard
potentiometer.
What is This precision sensor from Bosch is the best low-cost sensing
solution for measuring barometric pressure and temperature. 

BMP180?
The sensor is soldered onto a PCB with a 3.3V regulator, I2C
level shifter and pull-up resistors on the I2C pins.

The BMP180 is the next-generation of sensors from Bosch, and


replaces the BMP085. 

The good news is that it is completely identical to the BMP085


in terms of firmware/software - you can use our BMP085
tutorial and any example code/libraries as a drop-in
replacement. 

The XCLR pin is not physically present on the BMP180 so if


you need to know that data is ready you will need to query the
I2C bus.
WIRING OF THE CIRCUIT
STEP 1->
First, place a 16×2 LCD on the breadboard, as shown in the figure.

Now, connect A to +5V with a 220-ohm resistor and K to Ground. 

To vary the contrast of a 16×2 LCD, connect the VO to the middle pin of the potentiometer and VDD to
+5V, VSS & RW to Ground. 

Also, provide +5V and Ground to the potentiometer as depicted in the figure.

The summary of connections is mentioned in the below table.

Arduino Uno PIN    16×2 LCD Pin

Digital Pin 2                   RS

Digital Pin 3                   EN

Digital Pin 4                   D4

Digital Pin 5                   D5

Digital Pin 6                   D6

Digital Pin 7                   D7


Step 2->
•  The MQ-135 module connects to the A0 pin
of an Arduino Uno and connects GND to
Ground, providing +5V to VCC.
Step 3->
• The BMP 180  module connects SCL and
SDA pin to the  A5  and A4 pin of an
Arduino Uno respectively and connects GND
to Ground, providing +5V to VCC.
