ABSTRACT
This project aims to design and implement a cost-
effective, air quality monitoring system using an ESP
microcontroller. The system will measure and record
key atmospherical parameters, including temperature,
humidity and gas values. Sensors interfaced with the
ESP will collect real-time data, which will be processed
and displayed on an LCD screen and stored on an SD
card for further analysis. The data is uploaded to a cloud
service for remote monitoring and analysis through a
web and mobile interface via BlynkIOT service. This
project will provide an accessible and affordable
solution for temperature monitoring, beneficial for
educational purposes, quality of air, factories and
various other daily life applications. The implementation
emphasizes modularity, allowing easy integration of
additional sensors or components to expand its
capabilities. The final goal is to create a reliable, user-
friendly air quality monitoring system that can be
replicated and customized according to specific needs.

INTRODUCTION
ESP-based air quality monitoring system is a versatile
and cost-effective way to monitor environmental
conditions. It is a project that utilizes the popular ESP
microcontroller platform to monitor and report various
atmospheric conditions. These systems are valuable for
educational purposes, hobbyist projects, and even small-
scale environmental monitoring. They can measure
parameters such as temperature, humidity, gas values
and more, depending on the sensors used.
It involves using various sensors to measure
environmental parameters such as temperature,
humidity, gas values and possibly more.

LITERATURE REVIEW
Development and Design
Several studies have demonstrated the feasibility of
using ESP microcontrollers for air quality monitoring.
ESP's versatility and ease of use make it suitable for
integrating various sensors, such as temperature,
humidity, and gas value sensors. These studies often
focus on the design and architecture of air quality
monitoring system, emphasizing the selection and
calibration of sensors, power management, and data
storage options.
Sensor Technologies and Data Accuracy
Research has explored the use of specific sensors like
the DHT22 for temperature and humidity, MQ135
Sensor for gas value measuring. Studies highlight the
importance of proper calibration to ensure data accuracy
and reliability. Comparative analyses between ESP-
based systems and professional air temperature stations
have shown that, while there may be some
discrepancies, ESP-based systems can provide
reasonably accurate data for educational and non-
critical monitoring purposes.

DISCUSSION
Analysis of Air Quality Patterns
Temperature and Humidity Trends: Analyses daily,
weekly, and seasonal variations in temperature and
humidity. Look for patterns, such as temperature peaks
during specific times of the day or seasonal changes.
Gas Value Changes: Assess how gas values changes
correlate with atmospheric events like pollution or clear
skies. High gas values indicate harmful atmospheric
greenhouse gases which are harmful for human, lower
gas values indicate a safe environment.

CONCLUSION
DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION
Circuit design:
• Connect the sensors to the ESP board. Each sensor will have specific
pins/ports for data, power, and ground.
• The display module is connected to the ESP to output the readings.
Programming:
• Initially write the ESP code to read data from sensors and display the
information into Arduino IDE
• Use libraries such as DHT11, Simple DHT11, Liquidcrystal i2c.h etc
