Abstract. Air pollution in an ecosystem has proliferated industrial automation.

This dissertation concentrates more on industrial automation and has design an
embedded device with sensors to monitor and control the toxic gases in industries.
This entire prototype is an excellent result for observing the toxic gases in industry
and generates information by using data acquisition and transmission of
data.“Internet of Things (IoT)” is a important technology behind this and it provide
platform to bring together all the devices in the world to the internet. In this
dissertation, the parameters monitored are temperature, humidity and gas leakages
in industries. The sensor senses the parameters and uploads these data to the cloud
with the help of NodeMCU. If observed gas level is above the threshold which is
the safety limit of operation, the first alert is intimated from the Google cloud and
the controlling action carried out (ie) automatically close gas leakage valves and
then industry will take immediate step to control pollution. Or else, the second
alert message is sent through Electronic mail (e-mail) to restore the safe limit, as
government play role to power outage in the industries. Cloud is used to store the
sensed data, which is then transmitted and processed.

Keywords. Air pollution, Toxic gases, ECO-system, ESP8266 and IoT.

1. Introduction

In the recent years wireless technology and IoT grasped the most industrial area
especially automation and control has increasing for need of upholding various sectors.
Healthcare has prime importance in our day to day life. This paper reviewed about new
industrialization with ESP8266 and arduino UNO. Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) is highly
worsens industrial environments, which then spreads from indoor to outdoor, creating a
large scale effect around the industrial areas. Long term and short term effects caused
by Air pollution causes the people to concern about the air they breathe. The effect of
air pollution from industry is monitored scarcely. Our aim is to monitor the air
pollution from the heavy industry which leads to undesirable effects on the health of
human beings and also affects the environment. Pollution level in comparison to the
ambient air quality standards can be done by using monitoring. To protect the people
against extreme air pollution. Robust monitoring systems are necessary to alert people
and initiate actions.

2. Review of Related Literature

Kavitha.B.C et al. (2019), insists on using intelligent sensors for pollution monitoring.
Collected data from the sensors are sent to the Google cloud makes it possible to
monitor the air pollution from anywhere in the world. In case of threating levels of air
pollution, alerting is used. This is used in industry and the pollution by vehicular
emissions. Rajalakshmi.R et al. (2019), Observes the toxic gases present in the air to
ensure the safety of the people in that environment and make it available at any place in
the world for monitoring. The composition of chemicals in air like carbon monoxide,
LPG, methane and flammable gases is monitored using sensors and this data is sent to
the cloud server, which is then represented pictorially for better understanding of the
statistics. Rupali et al. (2018), cares for home and industrial safety using fire and gas
detection systems. This system detects the leakage of gas and fire using sensing circuit,
which is then controlled by microcontroller which in turns triggers the alarm system to
alert the leakage of gas and fire. Using GSM modems, SMS are being sent to notify the
user. In addition, it is designed with mechanism to sprinkle the water using water
sprinkler when there is a fire or gas leakage. MQ-6 and MQ-9 used as gas sensors to
detect the gas leakage. IR flame sensor is used for fire detection, which detects the fire
and notifies the user using SMS. Manish Verma et al. (2018), uses microcontroller
based system to investigate about the toxic gas detection and alerting system. LCD
display is used where the levels of hazardous gases like LPG and propane was
displayed each second. Authorized person is notified with email and also using alarm
generation mechanism. This automated detection and alerting mechanism helps to
resolve the problem as soon as possible. Angelica Nieto Lee et al. (2018), this paper
focuses on integrating all the contextual data, to provide accurate and relevant
information as per the need. System information that already exists but has not been
integrated into the monitoring system like 3D models and manuals. It is context aware
industrial monitoring systems, which provide information based on system state,
environmental conditions and functionalities of the devices in that environment.
Ishwarya et al. (2018), insisted on automation of many small tasks around us using
Internet of Things (IoT) in order to improve the quality of living. IoT is used for
enhancing existing safety standards, using automation process. Gas leakages in open or
closed areas can prove to be dangerous and fatal. Traditional gas leakage systems can
able to detect the leakage but cannot able to alert the user. Alerting System can be
established to alert the authorized person and to perform the data analytics from the
obtained readings.

3. Proposed System

The figure 1 below shows the block diagram and prototype of the proposed system.
The components used to design the hardware are Arduino UNO, Semiconductor sensor
(MQ6 & MQ7), ESP8266, Relay , Power supply. MCP3008 is an analog to digital
convertor. Analog values from the sensors are given to MCP3008, which is an 8
channel ADC, that converts the analog data to digital data which is then sent to
NodeMCU. The parameters are monitored using DHT11, MQ-6, and MQ-7 sensors.
The sensor senses their parameters regarding the temperature, humidity and gas level
and uploads these data to the cloud with the help of WiFi device (NodeMCU). If the
level of the gas reaches above the normal level, the first alert is intimated from the

Google cloud as it is automatically closes gas leakage valve and then industry will take
immediate step to control pollution. Or else, the second alert message is sent through
Short Message Service (SMS) to restore the safe limit intended so and as government
play role power outage in the industries.

4. Result and Discussion

We are going to test our prototype for different cases are discussed below. For our
analysis Gas-1 represents carbon monoxide (CO), Gas-2 represents Isobutane, Propane,
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and Methane. Temp represents temperature. Humi
represents humidity. Status represents either normal or emergency based on the
industrial gas leakage level.

Analysis for Gas-1

In the figure 2.a,the permissible level of Gas-1 is below 300. In this case, Gas-1 does
not reaches permissible level, so it is not harmful to the environment. Hence the status
is normal.In the figure 2.b, the permissible level of Gas-1 is above 300. In this case,
Gas-1 reaches above permissible level so it is harmful to the environment. Hence the
status is emergency.

In the figure 3.a, the permissible level of Gas-2 is below 300. In this case, Gas-2 does
not reaches above permissible level so it is not harmful to the environment. Hence the
status is normal. In the figure 3.b, the permissible level of Gas-2 is above 300. In this
case, Gas-2 reaches above permissible level so it is harmful to the environment. Hence
the status is emergency.

5. Conclusion

In this paper smart Industry Monitoring system based on IoT is proposed which can
effectively monitor and controls with alert. A prototype based on Arduino UNO was
developed which could sense the concentration of gases. The real time data information
obtained from the different sensors has been uploaded to Google Cloud which
displayed in the LCD. In addition to this other parameters like temperature, humidity
was measured. Provision was also made to vigilant the workers in case of any
emergency. The system provides consistently and accurate analysis to prevent any case
of accidents. This system makes use of Arduino UNO providing cheap solutions for
safety. Slight modification of the model enables the user to adapt it to any environment.
Predictive maintenance is an upcoming industrial need, for which the proposed model
can be improvised. In case of gas leakage the concentration of gas varies from point to
point which has to be analyzed. Moreover, the gases diffusing out during leakage may
also combine among themselves producing other by products which have to be dealt in
detail.

6. Future Scope

This prototype helps the industrial site from gas leakage deduction and faster resolution
of problems afforded by a higher level of expertise focused on control system. This
methodology could be applied to monitor distribution network of natural gas as well as
industrial, commercial, residential gas pipelines in order to provide a safe operation and
to avoid severe human health injuries caused by gas leakages. Proposed solution can
act as a automatic vehicle health feed for manufacturer to improve their quality by
providing regular vehicle services.
