Mapping and Monitoring Pollution Levels of Carbon Monoxide (CO) using Arduino and Location-Based Service

Abstract

Air pollution is a serious issue in the world. Around 98% of cities with a population of over 100,000 people in low and middle-income countries do not meet air quality standards, while in high-income countries, the number has decreased by 52%. Industries and motor vehicles are the biggest contributors to carbon monoxide (CO).Air pollution is a severe issue in the world. The object of research to investigate is the detection of carbon monoxide (CO) levels in an area mapped based on the current CO levels along with the location coordinates via GPS and LBS technology with a microcontroller and sensor-based device.The results of testing the CO level detection devices found that high CO levels are in the afternoon with an average CO level of 49.59656 which means classified as dangerous if we are outdoors more than 30 minutes, can interfere with heart function.
