The continuous augmentation of pollution is a problem that must be addressed straightaway. Pollution impacts our health as well as causes major environmental changes like Global warming and weather variations. Air pollution is one of the biggest challenges that the world is facing today as it has got adverse effects on human health like lung cancer, respiratory and heart diseases.There is a need to constantly measure, analyze and monitor the air quality on a real-time basis so that appropriate measures can be taken whenever needed. For this, we have proposed a model that uses the concept of the Internet of Things to let the user know about the concentration of harmful gases present around him and thus letting the user know the quality of air. The parameters that are monitored here are PM2.5, Carbon monoxide (CO), Carbon dioxide (CO2), temperature, and humidity. The values of these parameters are further displayed on an IoT platform, ThingSpeak, in the form of a graph as well as a number. If the concentration of Carbon dioxide exceeds a certain threshold, the buzzer gets triggered.
