Abstract
Vehicles have become an integral part of every one’s life. Situations and
circumstances demand the usage of vehicles in this fast paced urban life. As
a coin has two sides, this has its own effects, one of the main side effects
being air pollution. Every vehicle will have emission but the problem occurs
when it is beyond the standardized values. The primary reason for this breach
of emission level being the incomplete combustion of fuel supplied to engine,
which is due to the improper maintenance of vehicles. This emission from
vehicles cannot be completely avoided but, it definitely can be controlled.
With the evolvement of semi-conductor sensors for detecting the various gases,
using those semi-conductor sensors at the emission outlets of vehicles which
detects the level of pollutants. When the pollution/ emission level shoots
beyond the already set threshold level, there will be a buzz in the model
which warns us about high emission levels.
Higher exhaust emissions were brought about by an increase in the number
of automobiles[1]. As a result, pollution rises and can result in a number of
respiratory illnesses. The presence of different poisons in exhaust emissions,
including nitrogen oxide, carbon monoxide(CO), carbon dioxide(CO2), and
hydrocarbons(HC), makes them a major issue . Designing an emission gas
detector is the goal of this project (EGD). Motorcycle exhaust HC, CO, and
CO2 concentrations are measured using EGD. Its emission level revealed how
well it was working
Therefore, with the aid of this prototype, we are able to identify the gases
that are emitted from the exhaust, and when the gas concentration (ppm)
exceeds the threshold limit, it will alert us so that we can change our vehicle
or have it serviced, restoring it to good condition and avoiding gas emissions.

Introduction
1.1 Purpose
The purpose of this project is detection of emission from vehicle exhaust
is to accurately monitor and analyze the emissions released by vehicles. These
sensors provide real-time data on the levels of harmful gases such as car-
bon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, and other volatile organic
compounds. By measuring and tracking these pollutants, we can assess the
environmental impact of vehicle emissions and take necessary actions to miti-
gate air pollution. This data can aid in the development of effective pollution
control strategies, improvement of vehicle engine efficiency, and the implemen-
tation of regulations to reduce harmful emissions, ultimately contributing to
cleaner air and a healthier environment for all.
1.2 Overview
Pollution detection from vehicle exhaust involves the use of sensors like
MQ135 and MQ9 [2] to monitor emissions released by vehicles. These sensors
provide real-time data on harmful gases like carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide,
nitrogen dioxide, and volatile organic compounds. The purpose is to assess
the environmental impact of vehicle emissions and take necessary actions to
mitigate air pollution. By analyzing these pollutants, effective pollution control
strategies can be developed, vehicle engine efficiency can be improved, and
regulations can be implemented to reduce harmful emissions. The goal is to
achieve cleaner air and a healthier environment through accurate pollution
detection and subsequent mitigation measures.

1.3 Problem Statement
The problem at hand is the detection of pollution from vehicle exhaust,
which has significant environmental and health implications. The release of
harmful gases and particulate matter from vehicle emissions contributes to
air pollution, leading to respiratory problems, environmental degradation, and
climate change. However, the lack of reliable and efficient detection methods
hinders the accurate assessment and monitoring of these emissions. This poses
a challenge in implementing effective pollution control measures, enforcing reg-
ulations, and developing targeted strategies to reduce vehicle-related pollution.
Therefore, there is a critical need to explore innovative and cost-effective
approaches[3] for pollution detection from vehicle exhaust, enabling informed
decision-making and facilitating the development of sustainable solutions for
cleaner air and a healthier environment.
1.4 Goals
The goals of pollution detection from vehicle exhaust are as follows:
1.Accurate Monitoring: The primary goal is to develop reliable and accurate
monitoring systems that can effectively measure and track the emissions from
vehicle exhaust. This involves capturing real-time data on pollutants to gain
a comprehensive understanding of their levels and fluctuations.
2.Environmental Assessment: By analyzing the collected data, the goal is to
assess the environmental impact of vehicle emissions. This includes evaluating
the contribution of pollutants to air pollution, climate change, and ecosystem
degradation.
3.Health Impact Evaluation: Another objective is to evaluate the health
effects of vehicle emissions on human populations. This involves studying
the relationship between pollutants and respiratory illnesses, cardiovascular
diseases, and other health complications caused by poor air quality.
4.Mitigation Strategies: An essential goal is to identify effective mitigation
strategies to reduce pollution from vehicle exhaust. This includes promoting
the use of electric and hybrid vehicles, improving fuel efficiency, encouraging
1.5 Vision
Our vision is to create a future where pollution from vehicle exhaust is
significantly reduced, leading to clean and breathable air, improved public
health, and a sustainable environment for generations to come.
Background Materials
2.1.2 Breadboard:
A solderless construction base used for developing an electronic circuit and
wiring for projects with microcontroller boards like Arduino.

2.3 Modules:
• Voice Communication
• Data Transfer

Figure 3.1: Architecture of model
This is the circuit for our model, and we used an Airtel SIM in the GSM
module to link the LCD and buzzer to the Arduino Uno. When the MQ135
sensor is exposed to the gases emitted, it transforms the concentration of gases
into electric signals and transmits them to the Ardiuno Uno board, where it
is checked to see whether the threshold value for the gases has been reached
and necessary action is then taken.
1. If the gas values is below the threshold level then it just display’s the
value.
2.If the gas values exceed threshold level then it display’s the value on lcd
screen and gives us alarm and even sends message to our phone number.

Figure 4.2: VoidSetup
The void loop() function continuously reads the gas sensor value, calculates
the gas level, and displays it on the LCD screen. If the gas level exceeds
the predefined threshold (50), it triggers the sending of a text message and
activates the buzzer to indicate danger. The LCD displays ”DANGER” in this
case. If the gas level is below the threshold, the LCD displays ”NORMAL”
and the buzzer is deactivated. The function loops and updates the display
with a short delay (500ms) before clearing the LCD for the next iteration.
This is how we get the output in LCD screen, when we check for gas
emission
This is how GSM module alerts us by sending message to our phone about
gas emitted.

infrastructure, such as intelligent transportation systems and real-time data
platforms[5], pollution detection can contribute to efficient traffic management,
emission reduction, and urban planning.
6. Public Engagement and Awareness: Future developments in pollution
detection will focus on engaging the public and raising awareness about the
impact of vehicle emissions. User-friendly interfaces, mobile applications, and
public access to real-time pollution data will empower individuals to make
informed choices, promote sustainable transportation, and actively participate
in pollution reduction efforts.
The future scope of pollution detection from vehicle exhaust lies in the
continual advancement of sensor technologies, data analytics, and integration
with emerging technologies. These developments will enable more comprehen-
sive and effective pollution monitoring, leading to improved air quality, better
health outcomes, and sustainable urban environments.
Conclusion
The prime objective of our project is to detect the emissions from vehicle
exhaust and warn the user if they exceed the threshold level.The prototype
warns the user by buzz sound and also sends the message to the users phone
indicating the emission level when checked.
With this project we can monitor the gases emitted into the atmosphere by
vehicles and can reduce the emission by taking certain measures like replacing
the old vehicles with new one’s or changing the damaged parts of vehicles
which are leading to increase in harmful emission into atmosphere.
So, by monitoring the air pollution released from vehicles we can reduce
the health issues which are caused by air pollution drastically and we will be
able to maintain clean and good quality air in the environment.
