This paper presents the design and development of an intelligent air quality monitoring system that utilizes the widely adopted and versatile Arduino Uno microcontroller as its foundational platform. The system underwent comprehensive testing procedures to ensure its adherence to specified requirements. Moreover, a series of experiments were conducted in diverse areas of a residential environment to generate datasets for various air quality indicators. The research findings showcase the potential of the developed system in accurately monitoring and assessing indoor air quality in real time. Enhancing indoor air quality plays a crucial role in mitigating the transmission of common airborne viruses and pollutants, thus significantly benefiting respiratory health.
