Abstract Rapid urbanization and industrial expansion have led to a critical rise in outdoor air pollution, introducing harmful pollutants like LPG leaks, smoke, and toxic gases that threaten public health. Traditional monitoring systems often fail due to a lack of real-time data and manual operation requirements. This paper presents a sustainable solution: an automated, solar-powered air purification and monitoring system integrated with Internet of Things (IoT) technology. The system utilizes an Arduino Uno as a central controller, interfaced with MQ6 and MQ135 sensors to detect flammable gases and general air quality in Parts Per Million (PPM). When pollution levels exceed a predefined safety threshold, the system automatically triggers a multi-stage purification unit via a relay module. To ensure sustainability, the entire unit is powered by a 10W solar panel and a 2.3Ah battery backup, making it independent of the power grid. Real-time data is transmitted to the Thing Speak IoT cloud platform every 15 seconds using an ESP32 Wi-Fi module, allowing users to monitor environmental conditions remotely through a digital dashboard. Results demonstrate that the system effectively identifies pollution spikes and re- duces pollutant concentration through automated intervention. This project aligns with global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically focusing on Good Health, Clean Energy, and Sustainable Cities.
