  The Health Effects Institute (HEI) reported recently that the deaths from the
negative health effects of the air pollution in the Middle East Region is about
500,000 people. Therefore, this paper presents a new design and development of
portable system; called GASDUINO that allows the user to measure the quality of
air using the Internet of Things (IoT). The main components of developed
GASDUINO system are the Arduino microcontroller board, Gas sensor (MQ-135),
Android user interface (UI) connected with all things via Remote XY Arduino
cloud. The developed system can alarm the users about the dangerous levels of
the air quality index (AQI) or the particle per million (PPM) levels in the
range of 0 to above 200 PPM. The developed GASDUINO system is considered as an
essential environmental module in the development and sustainability of future
smart cities.
