  Air Pollution Detector

Inspiration

Addressing the rise in air pollution and its health impacts motivated us to develop a device for real-time air quality monitoring.

What it does

The detector measures pollutants like PM2.5, CO, NO2, and VOCs, providing real-time air quality data through a display and mobile app notifications.

How we built it

We used sensors for pollutant measurement, a microcontroller for data processing, and a wireless module for connectivity. The data is displayed on a screen and through a mobile app.

Challenges we ran into

Ensuring sensor accuracy and optimizing power consumption were key challenges we faced.

Accomplishments we're proud of

We created a functional prototype that provides accurate real-time air quality data and integrates with a mobile app.

What we learned

We gained insights into sensor calibration, hardware-software integration, and optimizing device power usage.

What's next for air pollution detector

We plan to enhance the device with advanced sensors, improve accuracy, and expand its accessibility and features for broader use.
