CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

Introduction:

Due to current technological advances, the structure material for small and low cost sensors became theoretically and inexpensively practicable. Even though, Industrialization increase the degree of automation at the same time it increases the pollution by releasing the unwanted parameters in atmosphere especially in industrial areas.

So there should be a system to observe and assess the industrial pollution. Particular attention is given to factors which may affect human health and the health of the natural system itself.

Industrial monitor is the collection of information at different locations of industries and at regular intervals of time in order to provide the data which may be used to define current conditions. Due to the difficulty of parameter large variations are found between different industries.

Project Summary:

i. The main aim of industrial pollution monitoring system provides real time information about the level of air pollution in, as well as provides alerts in case of radical change in quality of air.

ii. This information can then be used by the authorities to take on time actions such as evacuating people or sending emergency response team.

iii. We can uses an air quality index to classify the various level of air pollution.  

iv. Air pollution is rising issue these days, it is compulsory to monitor air quality and keep it under control for healthier future and healthy living for all.

v. System uses air sensors to sense presence of injurious gases/compounds in the air and regular transmit data and report it to the online server over IOT.

vi. This allows to authorities to observe air pollution in different areas and take act again it.

Aim and objectives of project:

i. To create a tool this will monitor the quality of air of our atmosphere. Display the data on LCD.

ii. To build a robust system that can measure the industrial pollution and help to reduce it and to decrease human being interference in monitoring the industrial pollution to reduce pollution and provide a healthy environment for the workers to work in.

iii. To make the industrial pollution monitoring a wireless system. To protect the environment from industrial pollution.

iv. To build a robust system that evaluates the industrial pollution continuously and indicates when there is an increase in the emissions and takes action to control it using wireless technology that is IOT.

Brief literature review and Prior Art Search

Literature review

We are learnt from the literature review that transportable monitoring device can be designed and developed using solid state gas sensors and simultaneously information on the observed air pollution information can be disseminated in real time.

The concept of Internet of Things (IOT) is also emerging very fast where everything around us comes with an internet connectivity for monitoring and control. Monitoring the environmental

Parameters and initiating a control action from internet is also part of this concept. In our proposed work, we design an environment monitoring system, capable of monitoring and control of environmental parameters.

we focus on design of a low cost system that is capable of not only remotely monitoring the environment variables like temperature and industrial pollutants but also initiates some control action like switching devices ON/OFF from the internet.

Plan of Our Work:

• In first phase, we have looked after and studied the patents and research papers for  the project. We made different Canvas which includes Ideation Canvas, Empathy Canvas, Product Development and AEIOU Summary for better  understanding and development of our project and making it efficient and public friendly.

• In the remaining other phase, we would like to move forward with Hardware Implementation interfacing it with software algorithm.

 In story boarding, we have to write two happy stories and two sad stories based on our user.

 First happy story was one person pass through the industrial area and that time gas leak aging entire area and that time pollution detection system can alert him and he will inform that company people and big incident can be stop at that time.

 Second happy story there was a school in industrial area and nearby industry has gas leakage problem but air pollution monitoring system in school so it will be alert to the school authority and all students placed to safe area.

 First sad story a gas leakage incident in India, considered the world’s most industrial disaster. It occurs at UCIL located at MP, over 50000 people exposed to methyl isocyanides gas and die.

 Second sad story was there company near tarapur atomic power station in maharashra, four people died due to a toxic gas leak at chemical factory.

AEIOU Summary

 Activities are goal-directed sets of actions—paths towards things people want to accomplish. What are the modes people work in, and the specific activities and processes they go through? In activity framework, there are two blocks. One block is General impression/Observation and second is Element, Features and special notes. This block says that which activity are performed in domain

 Environments: This includes that particular area where activities take place. The character and function of the space, of each individual's spaces, and of shared spaces.

 Interactions: This includes interactions between a person and someone or something else; they are the building blocks of activities. About the nature of routine and interactions between people, between people and objects in their environment.

 Objects: These are building blocks of the environment, key elements sometimes put to complex uses (thus changing their function, meaning and context). What are the objects and devices people have in their environments and how do they relate to their activities.

 Users: Those people whose behaviors, preferences, and needs are being observed. Who are they? What are their roles and relationships? What are their values?

 To make this data available to the common man.

Future Scope:

• We can monitor and store more parameters like Humidity, PH of soil, pressure, by replacing the level sensing module by temperature sensor or respective sensor.

• We can store this data to a memory location using memory IC or a memory card.

• We can draw graphs of variations in these parameters using computer.

CHAPTER 5: SUMMARY

Summary of Results:

The system to monitor the air of atmosphere using Arduino microcontroller, IOT Technology is proposed to improve class of air. With the use of IOT technology enhances the procedure of monitoring various aspects of environment such as air quality monitoring concern.
