Abstract

In the modern era, in the transportation sector, automobiles play a vital role. Exhausts of motor vehicles majorly cause air pollution which is the primary ingredient in the smog creation in some large cities. These automobiles produce harmful exhausts in which pollutants such as oxides of nitrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, Suspended particulate matter, Hydrocarbons, and ozone. Such exhausts cause hazardous diseases to the living beings which in turn leads to the Decrease of lifespan also. To overcome this effect, an embedded system can be designed to detect these pollutants and their levels using semiconductor gas sensors. Everything is monitored and controlled by the microcontroller in the embedded system. This paper mainly focuses on detecting and controlling the air pollution and thereby maintaining the Eco-friendly environment.
