Abstract
Air pollution in recent years has become alarmingly a part
of our everyday life. One out of nine deaths worldwide are caused by this
type of pollution. The first step towards solving this problem, is being
able to measure the air particles in the air we breathe and not only
outdoors, but indoors as well. Having in mind the uprising of Internet
of Things (IoT) and voice interaction with devices, this paper presents a
future-proof solution to this problem. It consists of a cheap and compact
outdoor station and an indoor station with an ability to be connected
with an Alexa enabled device and accessed using voice. These stations
were made using a Raspberry Pi 3, a Wi-Fi - enabled micro controller
and three different types of sensors, which can also measure the smallest
standardized air pollutants - PM1, particles with less than 1µm in size.
This creates an opportunity for a detailed analysis of the available data
from the indoor and the cheap outdoor air pollution measuring system
spread across a city.
