Air Pollution Detector
Air pollution consists of chemicals or particles in the atmosphere that causes serious health and environmental health but what causes air pollution for our planet. Most of the air pollution comes from human activities very least are from natural activities like a volcano eruption. Most of the harmful gases formed are carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, sulfates, nitrates, through Greenhouse gases, smog, toxic pollutants like lead and mercury now the question is do we have a solution? In this project, you are going to make an air pollution detector by using an Arduino and some air quality sensors. You need one Arduino Uno, LCD display, and 5-volt power supply

Project Description:

  1. USB Module: Arduino Uno is the most popular Arduino board so far, however it is sometimes frustrating when your project requires a lot of sensors or LEDs and your jumper wires are in a mess. The purpose of creating the Grove – Base Shield is to help you get rid of breadboard and jumper wires. With the rich grove connectors on the breadboard, you can add all the grove modules to the Arduino Uno very conveniently!
  2. Dust sensor: This Dust Sensor gives a good indication of the air quality in an environment by measuring the dust concentration. The Particulate Matter level (PM level) in the air is measured by counting the Low Pulse Occupancy time (LPO time) in given time unit. LPO time is proportional to PM concentration. This sensor can provide reliable data for air purifier systems; it is responsive to PM of diameter 1?m.
  3. HCHO sensor: AThe Grove - HCHO Sensor is a semiconductor VOC gas sensor. It uses the VOC sensor WSP2110 whose conductivity changes with the concentration of VOC gas in air. With a circuit, the conductivity can be converted to an output signal that corresponds to the gas concentration. This sensor has a very high sensitivity and stability, it can detect the gas whose concentration is up to 1ppm. It can be used to detect Toluene, Methanal, Benzene, Alcohol, Acetone etc. This product can be used to detect the presence of harmful gas in the home environment. It can be a good assistant to improve indoor air quality.
  4. LCD Module for Arduino UNO: =The Liquid Crystal Library allows you to control LCD displays that are compatible with the Hitachi HD44780 driver. There are many of them out there, and you can usually tell them by the 16-pin interface.
  5. Ardinou ultra kit : = 1X Arduino Uno R3 1X Arduino & Breadboard Holder 1X Bread Board 1X Shift Register 2X P2N2222A Transistors 2X 1N4148 Diodes 1X DC Motor with wires 1X Small Servo 1X 5V Relay 1X TMP36 Temp Sensor 1X 6' USB Cable 65X Jumper Wires 1X Photocell 1X Tri-color LED 10X Red LED 10X yellow LED 1X 10K Trimpot 1X Piezo Buzzer 2X Big 12mm Buttons 45X 330 Resistors 45X 10K Resistors
  6. The sensor is designed for indoor air quality testing. The main gas detected is carbon monoxide, alcohol, acetone, thinner, formaldehyde and other slightly toxic gases.
