With global attention, air pollution is believed to have adverse impacts on human health. The provision of air quality performance, therefore, becomes an important problem for people's well-being. Governments and people are increasingly concerned about air pollution since it impacts human health and sustainable development globally. As nations more industrialized, the pollution level in our environment rises, posing a serious threat to all living beings. Pollution levels rise quickly due to causes such as industry, urbanization, rising population, and automobile usage, all of which harm human health. With all those different pollutants available in the air, dangerous pollutant is Particulate matter PM2.5, which has a diameter of 2.5 micrometers or less and is easily inhaled, can travel deep into our lungs and bloodstream, causing serious health problems. This pollutant is emitted from a variety of sources, the most common of which being industry and automobiles. Air pollution is the most severe environmental issue which causes different diseases to the humans and contributes to global warming. To avoid such a negative imbalance in nature, a pollution monitoring system is critical. This model used to monitor the pollutant PM2.5 in the air which can be easily inhaled by the humans and it can travel deep into our lungs and bloodstream, causing serious health problems. The suggested design comprises a module such as dust sensor, as hardware using Arduino platform and software architecture for remotely monitoring pollution data through a single web-based graphical application which can be used in industrial areas and traffic places to monitor air quality level. Also air pollutant information must be displayed in public places, as every people can get awareness by knowing the pollutants level around them.
