CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
Generally, the study aims to detect a good and bad quality of air by
using the Arduino Uno as Air Quality Monitoring System.
1.) How can Arduino Uno as Air Quality Monitoring System detect the
good and bad quality of air?
2.) What is the importance of using the Arduino Uno as Air Quality
Monitoring System?
Hypothesis
Ha: The Arduino Uno Air Quality Monitoring System will be able to
detect the good and bad quality air.
Ho: The Arduino Uno Air Quality Monitoring System will not be able to
detect the good and bad quality air.
Protecting Public Health, the results of the study may benefit to the
community in protecting public’s health.
Definition of Terms
Jumper Wires Cable, Jumper wires are simply wire that have
connector pins at each end, allowing them to be used to connect two points
to each other without soldering (Hemmings, 2018). It refers to the wires that
will be use to connect all the components to the Arduino Uno.
Conceptual Framework
As stated in, which has evaluated air pollution using PM2.5 and PM10
sensors in 190 Chinese cities, air pollution can have serious health
repercussions, including respiratory illnesses and cardiovascular ailments.
Additionally, air pollution negatively impacts the environment, which
ultimately leads to climate change and global warming (Gunawan et al.,
2017).
Air pollution can impact the health of people, animals, and plants, the
quality of the air has a significant impact on the population in a given area.
Not all living things are healthy when exposed to poor air quality. It is
important to understand the state of the air quality in a certain location in
order to prevent anything that could exacerbate existing health issues. The
value of using an air quality monitoring system to identify excellent and poor
air quality is substantial. As a result, it's essential to regularly check the
local air quality (Nasution et al., 2019).
One of the worst things that may happen to the ecosystem is air
pollution. Major side effects include lung, heart, and cancer illnesses, among
others. Particles in the air that are solid, liquid, or contain certain gasses
can produce pollution. Industry, transportation, and factories are the
sources of these particles and gases (Raju et al., 2018).
Despite the fact that certain studies (Cortez et al., 2015; Nograleset
al., 2014; While this method is used domestically in the Philippines (Heredia
et al., 2015; Mercado, 2013; Seseet al., 2016; Balmeset al., 2015), not many
people are aware of its use for quick air quality monitoring in academic
settings (Heyasa and Galarpe, 2017)
An area's air quality can be assessed using a scale called the air
quality index (AQI). It emphasizes the well-being of consequences that could
appear a few hours or days after breathing in the contaminated air.
Additionally, The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of tiny, widely-used,
low-cost, low-power electronic devices that can sense and exchange data
without the need for direct human intervention (Bautista et al., 2019).
CHAPTER II
METHODOLOGY
This chapter deals with the methods of research that will be used
throughout the study. It includes the research design, sampling, procedure,
and materials.
Research Design
This study will be utilizing the Experimental Design where this study
will conduct an experiment about the Arduino Uno as Air Quality Index
Monitoring System. Testing or attempting to prove a hypothesis through
experimentation is known as Experimental design. This study was concern
about the Arduino Uno as Air Quality Monitoring System in detecting the
good and bad quality of air.
Materials
The study will use Non-probability Sampling on which the study will
utilize the Purposive sampling to select respondents to observe and rate the
Arduino Uno as Air Quality Monitoring System.
Procedure
Gather all the materials needed. Prepare all the materials. Get the
Arduino Uno, MQ135 Gas Sensor, and Jumper Wires Cables. Connect the
Jumper Wires Cables to the MQ135 Gas Sensor. Plug the Jumper Wires
Cables to the MQ135 Gas Sensor Pin in VCC, GND, Digital Out (DO), and
Analog Out (AO). Right after you plug in the wires, connect the
corresponding Jumper Wires Cables of the MQ135 Gas Sensor to the
Arduino Uno. Plug it in the Arduino Uno Pin 5V, GND, Analog Out (AO), and
Pin 2. Get the LCD Display 16x2 and Jumper Wires Cables. Plug the
Jumper Wires Cables to the LCD Display GND pin, LCD VCC pin, LCD SDA
pin, and LCD SCL pin. Right after you plug in the wires, connect the
corresponding Jumper Wires Cables to the Arduino Uno GND pin, 5V pin,
A4 pin, and A5 pin. Bring all the connected components to your desktop and
then start programming. Right after you program, then the Air Quality
Monitoring System is ready to test within an area.
The wiring circuit and code of the Arduino Uno as Air Quality
Monitoring System is represented in the figure below.
