Development of Air Quality Monitoring Device (AQM Dev) for Air Quality Measurement

The pervasive issue significantly affects both the environment and public health. This shows that there is an urgent need for effective air pollution control measures within the community. In order to address the issue, this research has developed a groundbreaking prototype known as the Air Quality Monitoring Device. AQM Dev has represented an innovative approach to air quality monitoring with several distinct advantages, including power consumption through a solar panel, real-time data transmission through the internet, customizable sensor integration, portability, an extensive air quality database, and a web-based display of air quality data. The device has measured several crucial parameters, comprising PM10, CO, NO2, and O3. AQM Dev consisted of essential components, such as sensors PMS5003, FC22, mics6814, a sensor reader Arduino, a data transmitter Mikrotik RB951 router and Modem, and a power source Solar Panel and related equipment. The data collected by AQM Dev has been transmitted to a cloud server, where it has been subjected to reception and processing through software components, including Node-RED and MySQL. In summary, this research has yielded an effective prototype known as AQM Dev for air quality monitoring. The device has efficiently collected and transmitted air quality parameter data from its sensors to a cloud server, contributing to better air quality control.
