STV391: AIR QUALITY MONITORING SYSTEM FOR SOLDERING LABORATORY

SAW JIN WEN Universiti Malaysia Perlis

Air quality monitoring in soldering laboratories is critical for ensuring the health and safety of students and lab assistants exposed to harmful gases and particulate matter generated during the soldering process. This project focuses on the development of a cost-effective real-time of an Arduino-based air quality monitoring system specifically designed for a soldering laboratory environment. The system measures temperature, humidity, hazardous gases and particulate matter concentrations. Data collected is displayed locally on an LCD and sent to a cloud platform like Blynk for remote access and monitoring. If the air quality levels exceed safe thresholds of air quality standard, an alert system triggers notifications via email, enabling timely intervention to mitigate health risks. The system aims to provide a reliable, user-friendly, and efficient solution for monitoring indoor air quality in soldering laboratories, ensuring regulatory compliance and promoting a safer studying and working environment.
