Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed Internet of Things-based Environmental Pollution Monitoring System in providing real-time pollution assessment and supporting sustainable environmental management.
Abstract
Environmental pollution has become a major global concern due to rapid industrialization, urbanization, and increasing vehicular emissions. Continuous monitoring of air quality and environmental parameters is essential for protecting public health and maintaining ecological balance. This paper presents an Internet of Things (IoT)-based Environmental Pollution Monitoring System designed to collect, analyze, and transmit real-time environmental data. The proposed system utilizes various sensors to measure parameters such as air quality, temperature, humidity, and harmful gas concentrations. Sensor data are processed by a microcontroller and transmitted to a cloud platform through wireless communication technologies, enabling remote monitoring and analysis. The system provides timely alerts when pollution levels exceed predefined thresholds, facilitating prompt corrective actions by authorities and stakeholders. The implementation of IoT technology enhances the accuracy, scalability, and accessibility of environmental monitoring while reducing operational costs. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed system in providing real-time pollution assessment and supporting sustainable environmental management.

Rising industrialization and urbanization have significantly impacted water quality, making effective monitoring essential. Traditional monitoring systems are often expensive, time-consuming, and lack real-time capabilities, especially in developing regions. This paper proposes a low-cost, IoT-based water quality monitoring system that continuously tracks key parameters such as pH, turbidity, temperature, and dissolved oxygen. The system uses affordable sensors, microcontrollers, and wireless communication to enable real-time data collection and transmission. Its modular and scalable design allows deployment even in rural and resource-limited areas. Data collected from multiple sensing nodes is sent to a cloud platform for storage and analysis. Continuous monitoring helps in early detection of contamination, while data analytics supports anomaly detection and improved decision-making. The study reviews existing systems and highlights their limitations, including high cost and lack of scalability. Experimental results show that the proposed system provides reasonably accurate measurements compared to standard laboratory equipment. Overall, the system offers a cost-effective and efficient solution for real-time water quality monitoring, with future scope for integrating machine learning and large-scale smart city applications.

Air pollution has become one of the major environmental challenges affecting human health, climate conditions, and overall quality of life. Traditional methods of monitoring air quality are often expensive, less accessible, and unable to provide real-time predictions for preventive actions. This paper focuses on the designing an Air Quality Monitoring System capable of monitoring environmental air conditions to ascertain the temperature, humidity and air quality of an environment the system is designed to collect air quality parameters such as temperature, humidity, smoke concentration, and harmful gas levels using sensors connected to a microcontroller. The collected data is processed and analysed to determine the quality of air within a particular environment. In addition, the system aims to provide users with real-time monitoring, accurate data analysis, and timely alerts whenever air pollution levels exceed acceptable standards. The implementation of this work demonstrates that an affordable and intelligent air quality monitoring system can contribute significantly to environmental safety and public health management.

In Malaysia, the degradation of water bodies due to rapid urbanisation, agricultural runoff, and industrial waste highlight the urgent need for continuous, efficient water quality monitoring. However, current manual-based sampling methods are time-consuming, labour-intensive, and insufficient for real-time assessment, thus limiting proactive intervention. In response to these limitations, this study aims to design an integrated water quality monitoring system that focuses on four parameters which are Dissolved Oxygen (DO), pH, Temperature, and Turbidity. These parameters selected for their importance in assessing aquatic health and pollution levels. To achieve this, the system design incorporates Arduino as the central microcontroller for sensor integration, coupled with Long Range (LoRa) communication for energy-efficient, long- range data transmission. Sensor data are envisioned to be transmitted to a cloud- based dashboard for real-time monitoring and analysis. The proposed design is expected to lay the groundwork for a scalable and cost-effective solution that enhances monitoring accessibility, reduces reliance on manual sampling, and supports proactive water resource management aligned with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6: Clean Water and Sanitation.

This paper presents the design, development and evaluation of an Internet of Things (IoT)-based smart waste management system aimed at addressing the inefficiencies and public health concerns associated with traditional waste collection methods. The proposed system integrates ultrasonic sensors for real-time bin fill-level detection, a rain sensor for environmental compensation, an ESP32 microcontroller for data processing and transmission, and a dual-mode feedback mechanism via a local LCD display and a remote web dashboard. Experimental results demonstrate a 99% accuracy in fill-level and rain detection, with data updates to the cloud platform (ThingSpeak) occurring within 2 seconds of a 15-second reporting interval. The system's robustness, low cost, and energy efficiency highlight its potential for scalable deployment in urban environments, contributing to cleaner, smarter communities.

Water quality monitoring is essential in aquaculture to ensure healthy fish growth and sustainable farming practices. In Malaysia, fish farmers commonly rely on manual methods to monitor key water quality parameters, including temperature and turbidity. However, these methods are labour-intensive, time-consuming, and prone to human error, resulting in delayed detection of water quality deterioration and inefficient data management. This study presents an Internet of Things (IoT)-based real-time water quality monitoring system to automate the monitoring process and improve aquaculture management. The system integrates an ESP32 microcontroller, a turbidity sensor, and a DS18B20 temperature sensor to continuously acquire water quality data. The collected data are transmitted wirelessly to the Blynk cloud platform for real-time monitoring, automatically recorded in Google Sheets, and visualized through Google Looker Studio to support historical data analysis. The developed prototype was evaluated through functionality testing to verify sensor connectivity, wireless communication, cloud synchronization, automated notifications, and data logging. The results demonstrate that the system successfully performs continuous data acquisition, real-time monitoring, cloud-based visualization, automated notifications, and historical data storage. The proposed system provides a practical and cost-effective solution for remote water quality monitoring in small-scale fish farming, supporting timely decision-making and more sustainable aquaculture management.
