Abstract: In today’s world, air pollution stands out as a paramount global concern. Air pollution can originate from either human-made (anthropogenic) or natural sources. Atmospheric pollutants such as carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), sulphur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), ozone (O3), suspended particulate matter (SPM), respirable suspended particulate matter (RSPM), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have a profound impact on human health. This issue is pervasive, affecting most major cities in both developing and developed countries. Given the urgency of the situation, the development of a real-time air quality and pollution monitoring system is imperative. We have engineered an Arduino-based air pollution detector that pairs a compact, cost-effective sensor with an Arduino microcontroller unit. This detector offers several advantages, including reliable stability, swift response and recovery times, and has a long operational lifespan. Furthermore, it is a budget-friendly, user-friendly, low-power hardware solution suitable for mobile measurement and straightforward data collection. The accompanying processing software can meticulously analyze the collected data with exceptional precision, making it an essential tool for understanding and addressing the critical issue of air pollution.
