Air and Water Quality Index Development for Environmental Assessment in Industrial Context

Abstract: Considering the importance of air and water to human existence, air and water pollution are critical issues that require collective effort for prevention and control. Different types of anthropogenic activities have resulted in environmental ruin. One of the tools that can be used for such a awareness campaignis Air Quality Index(AQI). The AQI was based on the concentrations of different types of pollutants: We are also familiar with the Water Quality Index (WQI), which in simply tells what the quality of drinking water is from a drinking water supply. There is a need for constant and real-time monitoring of air quality and water quality for the development of AQI and WQI, which in turn will enable clear communication of how unclean or unhealthy the air and water in the study area is. Similar systems have been developed utilizing IoT technologies, as discerned in [1], [2]
