In today’s world, with ever-changing pollutants and their concentrations, the designing of low-cost meteorological systems is unavoidable for assessing environmental parameters. Wireless instrumentation is an effective way of measuring the physical quantities as it can measure and transmit the data to the targeted location at high speed. In the present work, an IoT-enabled embedded system was developed to measure the concentration of carbon dioxide, ozone, and the presence of smoke. The ARM microcontroller reads the sensor data and processes the information to calculate the pollutant parameters. The measured data is displayed on the LCD, mobile phone, and a computer simultaneously using wireless technology. With Embedded C, the Keil compiler was used to develop the interfacing software for the designed system. Portability, user-friendliness, and reliability are the significant advantages of the device compared with the conventional systems, and it can be widely used as an inexpensive solution for the monitoring of environmental conditions.
