Airsense - Air Quality Monitoring

This paper basically aims to measure the indoor air quality by making use of two prominent sensors namely the DHT11 sensor which is used to measure the temperature and humidity and the MQ135 sensor which is used to detect harmful gases in the air such as Ammonia, CO2, CO, Nitrogen oxides, alcohol, smoke. The sensor allows us to determine the values of various gases in the house and classify it as good, bad, poor or toxic. This allows us to be alert and take necessary course of action to make the household a better and safer place to reside. This setup uses an Arduino uno as the microprocessor to perform necessary calculations. The data is then captured to the host system serially and is used for data visualization in Realtime using python and its various libraries.
