IoT Tabanlı Hava Temizliği Monitörü: İstanbul Ümraniye Örneği Üzerine Bir Çalışma

Abstract

Bu çalışma, özellikle çocukların sağlığını etkileyen kritik bir faktör olan hava kalitesinin etkisini vurgulamaktadır. Kötü hava kalitesi, solunum ve kardiyovasküler hastalıklara neden olur ve savunmasız nüfus grupları için önemli bir risk oluşturur. Günün büyük bir bölümünü okulda geçiren çocuklar, optimal sağlık ve öğrenme için temiz havaya ihtiyaç duyarlar. Bu araştırma, IoT teknolojileri kullanılarak İstanbul'un Ümraniye ilçesindeki üç lisede hava kalitesini ölçmüştür. Arduino Uno, ESP8266, OLED ekran ve ThingSpeak'i bir araya getiren, SDS011 Partikül ve MQ135 Hava Kalitesi Sensörleri içeren bir sistem, gerçek zamanlı izleme için uygulanmıştır. 45 gün boyunca toplanan veriler, PM10 ve PM2.5 seviyelerinin sık sık WHO günlük sınırlarını aştığını, ancak yıllık ortalamaların eşik değerlerin içinde kaldığını ortaya koydu. Zararlı gazlar da hava kalitesini olumsuz etkiledi ve ana yollara yakın okullar daha yüksek kirlilik gösterdi. Bulgular, daha sağlıklı okul ortamları sağlamak için iyileştirilmiş çevre politikaları, stratejik okul yerleşimleri ve kapsamlı hava kalitesi izlemenin önemini vurgulamaktadır.

IoT Based Air Cleanliness Monitor: A Study on the Case of İstanbul Ümraniye

Abstract

This study highlights the impact of air quality, a critical factor influencing human health, particularly in children. Poor air quality contributes to respiratory and cardiovascular diseases and poses a significant risk to vulnerable populations. Children, spending much of their day in schools, require clean air for optimal health and learning. This research measured air quality in three high schools in Istanbul’s Ümraniye district using IoT technologies. A system with SDS011 Particulate and MQ135 Air Quality Sensors was implemented, combining Arduino Uno, ESP8266, an OLED display, and ThingSpeak for real-time monitoring. Over 45 days, data revealed that PM10 and PM2.5 levels frequently exceeded WHO annual limits, while daily limits were exceeded in several instances. Harmful gases also negatively impacted air quality, with schools near major roads showing higher pollution. The findings underscore the importance of improved environmental policies, strategic school placements, and extensive air quality monitoring to ensure healthier school environments.
