Abstract

In this work, an air quality monitoring system was developed using various sensors that measure specific air quality parameters, including Volatile Organic Compounds, Carbon Dioxide, particulate matter of varying sizes, ambient pressure, humidity, and temperature. This system is based off a Particle micro-controller, Boron LTE CAT-M1 which allows for cellular connectivity for real-time data transmission. It is powered by a 3.7 Volt Li-Po battery and has a miniaturized design which allows for portability. This data is processed through an Internet of Things software provider that allows for the device to be connected and accessed to and from anywhere in the world. This paper discusses the design considerations, prototyping phase, electrical circuit design phase, printed circuit board design phase and fabrication process phase information. This paper also compares the performance of the air quality monitoring device to previous iterations and existing commercial devices.
