Abstract- The tremendous increase in the level of unclean emissions from industries and automobiles including the growth of civilization has resulted to the creation of serious environmental issues like greenhouse effect and diseases. Poor air quality is extremely difficult for human beings to feel or sense; thus, most people cannot tell whether or not indoor air quality is bad. In light of the aforementioned, there is an imminent need for an efficient, effective and widely-accessible indoor air quality monitoring system that can provide an intuitive sense of air quality conditions in indoor environments. In this project, an air pollution monitoring system is proposed. Arduino Uno microcontroller was used as the backbone to develop the wireless sensor network system. In order to monitor and analyze air quality in real-time and log data to a remote server whilst keeping the data updated over the internet, the air pollution monitoring system was designed for this particular purpose. Parts per Million (PPM) was used as a metric to obtain air quality measurements which was analyzed using Microsoft Excel. The result was displayed on the designed hardware’s display interface and could be accessed via the cloud on any smart mobile device.

1. INTRODUCTION
Atmospheric conditions continue to deteriorate each year due to the growth of civilization and increasing unclean emissions from industries and automobiles. This has resulted to the creation of serious environmental issues like greenhouse effect and diseases. Although air is an indispensable resource for life, many people are indifferent to the severity of air pollution or
