Jakarta, August 22 – The Physics Team at Universitas Negeri Jakarta has successfully developed an advanced solution for air quality monitoring using the Internet of Things (IoT). This project is named “Implementation of Gas Sensors for Air Quality Monitoring with the Internet of Things (IoT),” and it is led by Dr. Widyaningrum Indrasari, M.Si.
The development aims to provide an innovative and effective solution for air quality monitoring in various locations, especially in urban areas that often face air pollution issues. The sensors used in this project are MQ sensors based on Metal Oxide Semiconductor technology.
Various types of gases that can be detected by these sensors include carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), ozone (O3), nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur oxides (SOx), methane (CH4), hydrocarbons, and other gases that can negatively impact air quality.
The main advantage of this project is its ability to integrate gas sensors with IoT technology. This allows users to monitor air quality in real-time through their mobile devices or computers. Data collected by these sensors will be automatically transmitted via the internet, enabling accurate and timely analysis.
Dr. Widyaningrum Indrasari, M.Si, the project supervisor, stated, “We are very proud of our team’s work in developing this solution. With more accurate and easily accessible air quality monitoring, we hope to reduce health risks caused by air pollution and make a positive contribution to environmental preservation.”
Furthermore, the gas sensors developed by the Universitas Negeri Jakarta’s Physics Team also have the potential for use in various applications, including air quality monitoring in industries, vehicles, and other sectors that require routine gas monitoring. The implementation of gas sensors for air quality monitoring with IoT is a significant step toward a cleaner and more sustainable future. Universitas Negeri Jakarta is committed to continuing research and development in this field to make a positive impact on society and the environment.
