This research project focuses on the development of an innovative device based on Arduino, designed for the accurate reading of measurements from low-cost sensors sensitive to exhaust gases and fine particles. The main goal is to create an affordable and accessible solution for monitoring air quality, especially in urban and industrial areas where air pollution poses a significant risk to public health and the environment. By leveraging the flexibility and versatility of Arduino platforms, this project aims to develop a system capable of detecting a wide range of pollutants, including carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and fine particles (PM2.5 and PM10).
The approach envisioned for this project includes the selection and integration of specific gas sensors, offering a good balance between cost, reliability, and sensitivity, to ensure effective monitoring of targeted pollutants. The device will also incorporate features such as real-time data collection, storage of measurements, and the ability to transmit this data to a central monitoring platform for in-depth analysis. This IoT (Internet of Things) connectivity will not only allow for large-scale data collection but also the implementation of proactive strategies for air quality management, by informing authorities and the public about pollution levels in real time.
The project also envisages the development of advanced algorithms for data processing, to improve the accuracy of measurements and compensate for potential limitations of low-cost sensors. By combining expertise in electronic engineering, material science, and data analysis, this project aims to produce a robust prototype, capable of operating in various environmental conditions and providing reliable and accurate data on air pollution. This work could have a significant impact on environmental monitoring, offering an economical solution for communities and organizations seeking to reduce exposure to atmospheric pollutants and improve public health.
