Abstract-Air pollution is a serious environmental and health problem worsened by an increase in industrialization and urban sprawl. Real-time air quality monitoring is critical for understanding access to pollution and minimizing risks. This paper presents a low-priced portable air quality monitoring and measuring system based on MQ135 gas sensor and ESP8266 microcontroller. The system is made to detect key pollutants, such as carbon monoxide, carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), ammonia (NH3), benzene, and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The readings, which will ensure accurate readings from the developed system at any point in time in the future The proposed developed system has many features, including low power consumption, wireless communication, and real- time data acquisition, which make it suitable for mobile and remote applications.. MQ135 ensures accurate detection of pollutants and the sensor is linked with the ESP8266-12E module, which transfers data to the cloud for further processing. A specialized software component parses the collected data to interpret air quality trends for the users and estimate their health impact. This low-cost and easy- to-use system individual and community- level air quality monitoring. Its portability and real-time data provide another useful tool for researchers, environmental agencies, and policymakers. The experimental results demonstrate that the system successfully covers the fluctuations in pollution. Future improvements could include the incorporation of artificial intelligence methods for enhanced prediction and a wider air quality analysis spectrum.
