Abstract

Climate Change, a key stabilizing factor, has now exceeded critical thresholds. The high energy consumption of cities is a major contributor to climate change because of CO2 emissions. In addition to the rise in urban populations throughout the worldwide, the complexity of todays cities and the strain they put on limited resources means that the causes and consequences of climate changes become even more concentrated. Internet of Things (IoT) advancements provide several possibilities for reducing the effects of climate change by merging existing information, design techniques, and breakthrough technology. The current state of monitoring technology is subpar; it is insensitive, inaccurate, and requires laboratory examination. Consequently, new, and better methods of surveillance are required. Air pollution is one of the main causes of climate change. We suggest a new IoT-based monitoring device for air pollution to address the shortcoming of the current setup. Gas sensors, Arduino IDE, and Wi-Fi module were used to assemble the IoT kit. The air is analyzed by the gas sensors, and the results are sent to the Arduino software development environment. By using a WiFi module, the Arduino IDE may send data to the monitor. The resulting device may be deployed in different cities to monitor the levels of air pollution with little cost, easy to use and high accuracy.
