Abstract: Air pollution is emerging as one of burning environmental issues which need to be monitored for the prospect of the living beings and the world in a larger aspect. Owing to the growth of heavy transportation and urbanization concentration level of pollutants in the natural air has increased especially in certain areas leading to air pollution. Inhaling of such pollutants for a long time cause adverse effects to human health. As preventive measures, Traditional air quality monitoring methods, such as building air quality monitoring stations, but such methods turned to be typically expensive. In addition, monitoring stations are generally less densely deployed and so provide low resolution sensing data. This paper focuses on the Echo Tech Serinus 30 Carbon Monoxide Analyzer (Instrument) under Modelling Air Pollution and Networking (MAPAN) project installed in the Department of Environmental Science, Guahati University, sponsored by the Metrological Department, Pune which is an urban Air quality monitoring system. The system consists of sensor nodes, a gateway, and a control center managed by the Lab VIEW program through which sensing data can be stored in a database. This system is installed in the Environmental Science Department to monitor the carbon monoxide (CO) concentration level in the natural air from various sources. The results of the experiment-cum-case study show that the proposed system is suitable for micro-scale air quality monitoring.
