Project Details
High levels of oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) and other trace gases, can lead to the formation of harmful pollutants like nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and contribute to respiratory problems. Monitoring it helps identify sources of pollution and assess compliance with air quality standards. Ozone (O3) at ground level is a major component of smog and can be harmful to human health. Tracking its levels is essential for understanding the impact of photochemical reactions and regulating air quality to protect public health. The selected candidate(s) will work on developing an air quality device using low-cost sensors. The sensors measuring NOx, CO, and O3 will be integrated with a microcontroller allowing continuous storage/transmission of the air quality data.
