Cyclist Air Quality Tracker Kit with Arduino Mega + Sensor
Cyclist Air Quality Kit: Arduino Mega Pollution & Health Study
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Pedal through city streets while your Arduino-powered device logs particulate matter, CO2, and CO levels, creating a rich dataset for health research. This kit equips you to build a portable, high-accuracy air quality tracker that reveals the invisible pollution cyclists face daily, enabling evidence-based studies on respiratory health.
What You'll Build
A compact, bicycle-mountable air quality monitor that records real-time PM2.5, CO2, CO, temperature, and humidity with a timestamp onto a microSD card. The onboard TFT display shows live readings, and the data can be exported for analysis in health impact studies, revealing personal exposure levels during commutes.
What You'll Learn
- Integrating multiple environmental sensors (PMS5003, MH-Z19B, MQ-7, DHT22) with Arduino Mega
- Logging high-resolution air quality data to microSD with RTC timestamps for research-grade datasets
- Calibrating gas sensors and interpreting pollutant concentrations for health risk assessment
- Designing a self-contained, battery-powered embedded system for field data collection

Who This Kit Is For
Designed for B.Tech ECE/EEE students working on environmental health capstone projects, Smart India Hackathon participants tackling air pollution, and researchers at IITs/NITs needing reliable sensor data for publications. Also ideal for ATL Tinkering Lab mentors guiding advanced students into IoT-based health informatics.
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?
Our AI build companion, accessible via QR code, provides step-by-step guidance specific to this kit. You can also reach our WhatsApp support for real-time troubleshooting.
Can this tracker really measure personal exposure while cycling?
Yes, the high-sensitivity PMS5003 and electrochemical sensors capture street-level pollutant variations. The data logged with location context (you can add GPS) helps create personal exposure profiles for health studies.
Is the dataset suitable for academic health impact research?
Absolutely. The RTC timestamps, multiple pollutants, and temperature/humidity allow correlation with health symptoms. Many students have used similar datasets in publications.
Do I need prior experience with Arduino or sensors?
This is an advanced kit. We recommend prior experience with Arduino programming and basic electronics. The AI companion includes calibration routines, but you'll be working with gas sensors that require understanding of analog response curves.
