Abstract: - In this research paper we propose a pollution
monitoring and control system Air pollution is a common
matter nowadays. It’s defined as a contamination of
physical, biological or chemical alteration in air which
results in harmful effects on living beings making it
difficult for them to survive. The prominent cause of air
pollution is the discharge of injurious gases from
industrial waste and the use of fossil fuels. The effects of
air pollution are very severe climate change, soil erosion ,
different diseases and many more thus it’s very important
to take a proper note on the air superiority as long term
effect of air pollution can result in heart diseases , lung
cancer etc. . We have devised a system to measure the
contamination level of air through sensors base hardware
which sends the data directly to the associated server
making it easier to read even on mobile through a software
application. The sensors would be plotted in different
routes and locations i.e. industrial region, traffic zone etc.
to investigate the pollution stages of the air making it
easier for the user to take a safer route. One of the
important usages of the system is to give information about
the low contaminated areas near roads and industrial
areas so that they can be safeguarded through certain
measures.
generations particularly those that reside at the University's
facilities. Most of the student's time is spent on the
university campus and in an air-conditioned environment
where there is a limited range of fresh air circulation. It is
important to check the air quality to detect high levels of
O3, No2, CO, Co2 and VOC. These gases are toxic in
nature and may have some reasons for various diseases in
students, resulting in low concentration, irregular attendance
at classes and poor academic performance. Therefore, it is
very important to understand the actual acceptable levels of
various contaminants that are classified by different
agencies. It has also been found that the persistent level of
improvement in air containment can prove fatal to all living
beings, including humans. Therefore, it has been observed
that air pollution is a major cause of worldwide deaths and
premature deaths.[1]

INTRODUCTION :-
In the generation of fast data transmission over the Internet,
Internet of Things has achieved great power. You can enable
multiple devices to communicate through the
communication channel and store data in a cloud database
on the network. The IoT can be used to monitor indoor or
outdoor air quality in real time. There are many things in the
university environment that cause poor air quality, such as
fresh paint, polishing the wooden surface, photocopiers,
traffic, smoking, etc.[1] When the level of control increases
beyond the levels allowed in the environment, it can affect
various organs of the human body. Numerous chemicals that
cause a reduction in air quality are inhaled and absorbed by Fig.1. Percentage of death from Clean Technica pollution in
the human body causing allergies, sensitivities, etc. Poor air the World.[3]
quality can have a very detrimental effect on new
In this document, we propose a pollution monitoring and
control system that allows us to monitor and control
pollution in different sectors in an area that uses Esp8226
and IOT. The system uses sensors to detect the presence of
pollution in industries and constantly transmit this data. The
sensors interact with Arduino Uno, which processes this
data and transmits it through Esp8226. Then Esp8226
Transmit data to the server. This allows authorities to
control smoke, radiation, temperature and different types of
pollution in different areas and act against it .[2]
