ABSTRACT
Air pollution has emerged as a serious environmental health issue caused by the
presence of air pollutants in the atmosphere. This study aims to modify a portable air
purifier with an air quality monitoring and filtering system for recycling and cleaning the
air indoors. The device is developed as the concern for indoor air pollution has arisen and
to introduce an economic and environmental-friendly system for filtering the air. The
objective of this study is to design and develop a device that will purify the air by
trapping particulate matter, carbon dioxide, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in
the filters and to evaluate the performance of the device in terms of operation,
effectiveness, power consumption and safety. This study will also determine the cost
analysis of the device. The researchers aim that this study will be beneficial to the users.
Keywords: air purifier, air quality monitoring system, particulate matter, carbon dioxide,
volatile organic compounds (VOC’s).
