Air pollution in urban areas is increasingly driven by vehicle emissions, which release harmful gases include such things as carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), hydrocarbons (HC), and particulate matter (PM). These pollutants pose significant risks to both environmental quality and public health, highlighting the urgent need for effective monitoring and control systems. This project presents the development of an automated Effective Air Pollution Monitoring System for Eco Balance, designed to detect exhaust gas levels in real-time as vehicles pass designated points. The system employs advanced sensors to monitor pollutant concentrations and utilizes a camera- based recognition system to capture the number plates of vehicles that exceed permissible emission levels. The collected data, including pollution metrics and vehicle details, is transmitted to the Regional Transport Office (RTO) for necessary enforcement actions. By promoting compliance with emission standards, this automated system aims to significantly reduce vehicle-related air pollution, fostering a cleaner and healthier urban environment.
