Air Quality Monitoring Device Using Arduino

Hi every one

living one of the developing country or most polluted city knowing Air quality is very important for health , i make this device for my self and every one can make it as well . here I am going to demonstrate how to make.

before i do here intervals and the terms describing the AQI air quality levels are as follows:

From 0 to 50....................good
From 51 to 100..................moderate

From 101 to 150.................unhealthy for sensitive groups

From 151 to 200.................unhealthy

From 201 to 300.................very unhealthy

From 300........................hazardous

unit :ppm (parts per million )

Step 1: Electronic Components

you need this project

1- Arduino ( any arduino types )

2-gas sensor

3-jumper wires (3pc )

4-Breadboard

5-Arduino usb cable

6- Arduino IDE

Connecting Arduino to sensor

MQ- 2- Gas sensor have 4 pin , u need to use 3 of them as shown in figure

pin A0 to pin A0 in arduino

pin vcc to pin 5v

pin GRN to GRN

Step 2: CODE

Download code here ........

int airquality = 0;
void setup()

{ Serial.begin(9600);

}

void loop()

{

int sensorValue = analogRead(A0);

Serial.print("Air Quality = ");

Serial.print(sensorValue);

Serial.print("*PPM");

Serial.println();

delay(1000);

}

Step 3: Result

After compiling, uploading and running it, in the Serial Monitor (Tools -> Serial Monitor or Ctrl + Shift + M) the sensor will send data!

serial monitor will shown u I hope you enjoyed this project and if there is something wrong or not clear please let me know. follow me for many more projects to come

Thanks for reading.
