Overview
The indoor air quality is a major concern in offices and houses due to the significant impact of air pollution
on health, comfort, well-being, and productivity of the occupants. The World Health Organization (WHO)
estimates that around seven million people die every year from exposure to fine particles in the polluted
air that affects the lungs and the cardiovascular system, causing diseases such as stroke, heart disease,
lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases and respiratory infections, including pneumonia.
Hence, it is essential to have good air quality monitor systems at offices and at home for constant air
quality monitoring. The Air Quality Monitor (AQM) is a real-time monitoring system, which measures main
airborne contaminants: Particulate Matter (PM2.5), Carbon Dioxide (CO2), humidity and temperature
levels of the indoor air. The smart and secure AQMs can transmit the measured air quality data to a cloud
server or a smartphone over the internet or through a wireless communication medium. The AQM data
can also be sent to the HVAC control system inside buildings and homes or to other air monitoring
systems to control the air purification system. The air quality data can also be used for the early
maintenance of the indoor air delivery systems.
