Carbon Monoxide Concentration Monitoring System for Automating Air Filters

As urbanization continues to accelerate at a break-neck pace, the need for smart cities has become increasingly pressing. This need is particularly evident in developing countries, such as India, where the rapid pace of growth has led to significant problems, including the issue of air pollution. Inhaling pollutants over extended periods of time can be harmful to human health, and can even be life-threatening. Carbon monox-ide (CO) is one such pollutant, and its detection and control in residential and industrial environments is critical to avoid potential health problems. To address this issue, sensor networks can be deployed in affected areas to measure the concentrations of different gases and to take necessary action to reduce their levels in the air. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are currently a popular research area due to their potential applications, and this paper discusses the implementation of WSNs for monitoring CO concentration in order to automate the filtration process using the Zigbee Protocol for communication. By deploying sensor networks and leveraging the power of the Zigbee Protocol, we can help to mitigate the damaging effects of air pollution and improve the quality of air in the cities.
