Urban Air Quality Monitoring

Guide: Dr.Deepthi Godavarthi

PROBLEM STATEMENT:
In the rapidly urbanizing world, the deterioration of air quality has emerged as a critical
concern, posing severe threats to public health, environmental sustainability, and overall quality
of life in urban areas. The increasing concentration of pollutants such as particulate matter
(PM), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), ozone (O3), and volatile organic compounds
(VOCs) in the air has led to a rise in respiratory diseases, cardiovascular problems, and other
adverse health effects.
The existing air quality management systems often lack real-time monitoring capabilities,
comprehensive data analysis, and effective communication mechanisms. This deficiency
hampers the ability of urban authorities to make timely and informed decisions to mitigate the
impacts of poor air quality. The lack of public awareness and involvement further exacerbates
the problem, hindering collective efforts towards improving air quality.
Urban Air Quality Management System that integrates advanced monitoring technologies, data
analytics, effective communication strategies, and collaborative governance. The system should
empower urban authorities, researchers, and the general public with the tools and information
needed to actively contribute to sustainable urban development and improved air quality.

OBJECTIVES:
 Establish an extensive network of air quality monitoring stations for city-wide coverage.
Implement real-time data collection capabilities to ensure up-to-the-minute air quality
information is available.
 Create a centralized data repository that consolidates information from diverse
monitoring sources.
 Utilize advanced data analytics tools to analyze historical trends, identify pollution
sources, and predict air quality patterns.
 Develop a user-friendly platform for widespread dissemination of air quality information
to the public, local authorities, and stakeholders.
 Employ multiple communication channels, including mobile apps, websites, and social
media, to reach a broad audience.
 ADVANTAGES:
 Early Detection of Pollution Events
 Data-Driven Decision Making
 Health Protection
 Source Identification and Control
 Community Awareness and Engagement
 Policy Evaluation and Effectiveness

POWER OF ACTION:
➢ Conduct a comprehensive needs assessment to identify target areas and
communities with a need for footstep power generation.

➢ Select appropriate kinetic energy harvesting technologies, such as

piezoelectric materials or electromagnetic generators, based on
efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

➢ Following the collection of all necessary components, we will lay out the
block diagrams and approach and create a prototype.

➢ In addition, a review meeting with the prototype's guide and the

completion of the prototype's functional demonstration.

➢ Making all final adjustments once again in accordance with the

recommendations of the guide, submitting the final report, and taking
part in the Expo to Showcase the completed prototype.
 Timeline of Progress:
1-2 weeks - The project's theme and data collecting were fixed.
3rd week - Collection of all requirement components, and component
methodology.
4th week - Working on prototype.
5th week - Final improvements based on guide recommendations.
6th week - Participation in the EXPO and demonstration of a fully functional
prototype.
