Abstract

Air pollution poses a significant threat to public health, demanding effective real-time monitoring solutions. Traditional monitoring systems are often costly and sparsely located, limiting their spatial-temporal resolution. This study aimed to develop and validate a low-cost, IoT-integrated electrochemical sensor system for the real-time detection of key airborne pollutants. We fabricated electrochemical sensors for nitrogen dioxide (NO?), sulfur dioxide (SO?), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which were then integrated with a microcontroller and a wireless communication module. The system was calibrated and validated against reference instruments in both laboratory and field conditions. The developed sensors exhibited high sensitivity, good selectivity, and rapid response times (<60s). Field data demonstrated a strong correlation (R² > 0.92) with co-located reference-grade analyzers, and the IoT platform successfully provided continuous data visualization via a cloud dashboard. This study confirms that IoT-integrated electrochemical sensors provide a scalable and cost-effective solution for building dense, real-time air quality monitoring networks, offering significant potential for urban environmental management.
