Air Quality Health Study Station Kit with Arduino Mega + Sensor
Arduino Mega Air Quality Health Study Station Kit — Build a Lab-Grade Indoor Pollution Dataset for Research
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Turn your room into a research-grade air quality monitoring station. With the PMS5003 laser particle sensor, MH-Z19B CO2 module, and MQ-7 CO detector, this Arduino Mega-powered kit captures the microscopic pollutants that trigger asthma, affect cognitive performance, and drive long-term respiratory risk. Log timestamped data to a MicroSD card, visualize it on a color TFT, and build the longitudinal dataset a health impact study demands.
What You'll Build
A fully autonomous indoor air quality station that logs PM2.5, PM10, CO2, CO, temperature, and humidity at user-defined intervals to a MicroSD card. Real-time readings display on the 1.8-inch TFT, and the DS3231 RTC ensures every data point is precisely timestamped. You will generate CSV files ready for epidemiological analysis — the exact format used in public health research on indoor environmental quality.
What You'll Learn
- Calibrate and integrate laser particle counters (PMS5003), NDIR CO2 sensors (MH-Z19B), and electrochemical gas sensors (MQ-7) over a common data bus.
- Implement buffered MicroSD logging with DS3231 real-time clock timestamping to prevent data loss during power cycling.
- Design noise-filtered analog signal chains for the MQ-7 CO sensor using capacitor arrays and voltage divider networks.
- Structure environmental datasets for longitudinal health studies, including quality flags, sensor metadata headers, and interval tags.

Who This Kit Is For
B.Tech ECE, EEE, and Biomedical Engineering students designing health-monitoring capstone projects. Ideal for Smart India Hackathon teams tackling environmental health challenges, and for researchers at IITs, NITs, VIT, BITS Pilani, and other institutions needing a reproducible sensor platform for indoor air quality studies. Suitable for CBSE Class 12 students only with strong Arduino experience and soldering skills.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Scan the QR code on the box to access your AI companion trained specifically for this kit; it can debug wiring, code, and sensor calibration. WhatsApp support is also available from our engineering team during business hours.
Can this station be used for outdoor monitoring too?
It is optimized for indoor environments. For outdoor use, you would need to add a weatherproof enclosure and a particulate sampling inlet. The PMS5003 sensor is rated for indoor use; direct outdoor exposure without protection may shorten its lifespan.
How do I calibrate the sensors for a study?
The kit includes a calibration routine in the AI companion that uses zero-grade CO2 sources and reference PM2.5 values from co-located instruments. Full instructions for single-point and multi-point calibration are provided, along with Python scripts to validate drift over time.
Does the kit include a battery, and how long does it run?
A 9V battery snap is included, but not the battery itself due to shipping regulations. With a standard 9V alkaline battery, the system runs for approximately 2–3 hours of logging. For continuous monitoring, we recommend a 9V DC adapter connected via the Arduino Mega’s barrel jack.
PMS5003 + MH-Z19B + MQ-7 build comprehensive indoor air quality dataset for health impact study.
