ABSTRACT
The pollution of air and sound is increasing abruptly. To bring it under control its monitoring is majorly
recommended. To overcome this issue, we are introducing a system through which the level of sound
and the existence of the harmful gases in the surroundings can be detected. The growing pollution at
such an alarming rate has started creating trouble for the living beings, may it be high decibels or toxic
gases present in the environment leaves a harmful effect on human’s health and thus needs a special
attention.

INTRODUCTION
The main objective of IOT based Air & Sound Monitoring System is that the air and sound pollution is
a growing issue these days. It is necessary to monitor air quality and keep it under control for a better
future and healthy living for all. Here we propose an air quality as well as sound pollution monitoring
system that allows us to monitor and check live air quality as well as sound pollution in an area through
IOT. System uses air sensors to sense presence of harmful gases/compounds in the air and constantly
transmit this data. Also, system keeps measuring sound level and reports it. The sensors interact with
raspberry pi which processes this data and transmits it over the application. This allows authorities to
monitor air pollution in different areas and act against it. Also, authorities can keep a watch on the noise
pollution near schools, hospitals and no honking areas, and if system detects air quality and noise issues
it alerts authorities so they can take measures to control the issue.

The Automatic Air & Sound management system is a step forward to contribute a solution to the
biggest threat. The air & sound monitoring system overcomes the problem of the highly-polluted areas
which is a major issue. It supports the new technology and effectively supports the healthy life concept.
This system has features for the people to monitor the amount of pollution on their mobile phones using
the application. To implement this need to deploy the sensor devices in the environment for collecting
the data and analysis. By deploying sensor devices in the environment, system can bring the
environment into real life i.e. it can interact with other objects through the network. Then the collected
data and analysis results will be available to the end user through the Wi-Fi. The data can be an
important source when addressing the issue of the impacts of motorcycles at idles (e.g. waiting for a
green light) on air quality. Moreover, to achieve real-time monitoring, the data of CO concentration in a
particular place could be reviewed from mobile communication devices, such as PDAs, smart phones,
and tablet PCs to help keep air quality in check.

Network Devices and the Internet of Things All kinds of ordinary household gadgets can be modified to
work in an IOT system. Wi-Fi network adapters, motion sensors, cameras, microphones and other
instrumentation can be embedded in these devices to enable them for work in the “Internet of Things”.
Home automation systems already implement primitive versions of this concept for things like light
bulbs, plus other devices like wireless scales and wireless blood pressure monitors that each represent
early.

OBJECTIVE & SCOPE

 To monitor and check air quality and keep it under control for a better future and healthy living
for all.
 The system proposed here also monitors sound pollution in particular areas so that authorities
can act against it.

NEED OF THE PROJECT

Now a days, in metropolitan cities air and noise pollution becomes serious issues, due to high decibels
and toxic gases present in the environment which directly effect on human health and thus needs a
special attention. Therefore, it has now become necessary to control the pollution to ensure healthy
livelihood and better future. Here we propose an air quality as well as sound pollution monitoring
system that allows us to monitor and check live air quality as well as sound pollution in particular areas
through IOT.

To implement this we need to deploy the sensor devices in the environment for collecting the data and
analysis. By deploying sensor devices in the environment, we can bring the environment into real life
i.e. it can interact with other objects through the network. Then the data collected by the sensors is
transmitted to the microcontroller and analysis results will be available to the end user through the Wi-
Fi over the internet. Hence, this system would contribute as a part in the building of a healthy society.

METHODOLOGY
Here, the tier 1 provides information about the parameters under the region which is to be monitored for
noise and air pollution control.

Tier 2 deals with the sensor devices with suitable characteristics, features and each of these sensor
devices are operated and controlled based on their sensitivity as well as the range of sensing.

In between tier 2 and tier 3 necessary sensing and controlling actions will be taken depending upon the
conditions, like fixing the threshold value, periodicity of sensing, messages (alarm or buzzer or LED)
etc. Based on the data analysis performed in between tier 2 and tier 3 and from previous experiences the
parameter threshold values during critical situations or normal working conditions are determined.

Tier 3 describes about the data acquisition from sensor devices and includes the decision making.
Which specify the condition the data is representing which parameter.

In the proposed model tier 4 deals with the intelligent environment. Which means it will identify the
variations in the sensor data and fix the threshold value depending on the identified level of CO or noise
levels. In this tier, sensed data will be processed, stored in the cloud i.e.in to the Google spread sheets
and it will show a trend of the sensed parameters with respect to the specified values. The end users can
browse the data using mobile phones, PCs etc.
