Abstract

Co-existence, that’s the word to describe our relationship with environment and people around us. We are dependent on each other for our daily needs. As we exploit the things around as per our needs and requirements, we are endangering ourselves and the earth we live in. We have been exploiting our world for thousands of years now and we haven’t looked back at the havoc we created. Now in the twenty-first century it’s a major concern climate change, global warming, pollution you name it we got it. People have turned a blind eye and we need to educate the people and let them know of the adverse effects of their own actions. Aim of our project is develop a simple device which is of low cost and ease to use. With this gadget we can quantify Carbon Monoxide (CO), Temperature, Relative Humidity, Particulate Matter 2.5, Noise and UV radiation. Using the concept of Internet of Things, we measure these values using sensors and the data is store in a MySQL database. With help of Geo-tagging we can locate which part in the city where the pollutants are high and send a report to the people of that neighborhood.
