The Development of Smart Indoor Air Purifier with Real-time Monitoring System and Interchangeable Activated Carbon Filter

Abstract

For many decades, Earth’s environment has had a significant problem with air pollution, which offers a dangerous toxicological effect on human health. Globally, each year, air pollution is related to millions of deaths. Cardiovascular dysfunctions, respiratory infections, and cancer are the widely expected illnesses that will occur on air pollution’s long-term effects. Millions of people die from household air pollution and ambient air pollution, and most of them live in Asia. This research’s main objective is to design and fabricate a smart air purifier with a monitoring system to detect air pollutants such as Smoke and Particulate Matter found indoors using dust and gas sensors. The researchers will use an interchangeable Activated Carbon (AC) filter to reduce contaminants and impurities in the air. The study used a constructive research method that comprehends theory and a process for producing innovative constructions. It includes an Intake and Purified Sensor System; the Intake Sensor System detects unfiltered air pollutants. The Purified Sensor System detects the air passed through and adsorbed by the interchangeable Activated Carbon filter. Hence, indoor air purifiers’ impact has eliminated the pollutants, namely smoke, Carbon Monoxide (CO), and Particulate Matters (PM2.5 & PM10), to produce 93.14% up to 99.98% cleanliness of the enclosed environment. This device’s beneficiaries are children with asthma, hospital patients, house families, PWDs, and senior citizens sensitive to airborne diseases.
