Implementation of an Environmental Quality and Harmful Gases Monitoring System in Cloud

The improvement of environmental quality is aligned with the betterment of life quality. Poor air quality has a greatest impact on people health, it links to cancer, long-term harm to cardiovascular and respiratory systems. Conversely, safe air quality free of harmful gases such as formaldehyde, volatile organic compounds and carbon monoxide helps to prevent disease and other health problems. The application of information technology can greatly enhance the effectiveness of ensuring good air quality. Therefore, the implementation of environmental quality and harmful gases monitoring system is beneficial to manage indoor air quality. In this work, we built an environment quality monitoring system, which can adjust the indoor air quality and monitor the concentration of formaldehyde, volatile organic compounds and carbon monoxide. If the environment comfort value is out of the standard, the system will give notification if the concentration of harmful gases exceeds the standard, and activates air ventilation and purification devices. With these real-time data, the proposed system can help people make right and timely decisions, and act in time to maintain a healthy environment in the monitored area.
