Abstract
The human body is not able to detect whether the air is polluted or not, which is why it is important to have a device that can measure the air quality, both in the closed environment and in nature. Thus, air pollution is defined as a harmful phenomenon to the ecological system and to the normal conditions of human existence and development when certain substances in the atmosphere exceed a certain concentration. The paper proposes an indoor air monitoring system for healthcare facilities, using an Arduino Mega2560 board, temperature sensor, humidity sensor, eCO2 (equivalent CO2 which designates global warming potential), TVOC (Total Volatile Organic Compounds) and atmospheric pressure sensor. The technologies used for the software implementation are Arduino IDE for the acquisition of data from sensors and Visual Studio for the graphical interface implementation.
