ABOUT THIS PROJECT

This page is about how to make an air pollution monitoring system using an Arduino UNO, buzzer, LEDs and MQ135 gas sensor.

Working principle:

When we keep some fuels which have harmful gases like CO2, NO2 etc(when we keep an inscence stick close to this sensor), the RED LED will glow and the buzzer starts ringing else if it is good quality air around, then green LED will glow.

Code is as given below:

Connection diagram is as given below:
