Smart Public Restroom Monitoring system

ABSTRACT

Hygiene in many public toilets, especially in low-income areas, is a major concern due to
poor ventilation and lack of maintenance. Governments often invest significant amounts of
resources to keep these public toilets hygienic, but these efforts can be futile if there is no
central system to monitor hygiene conditions. In many parts of the world, including India,
sanitation is not up to the mark, with a lack of clean and ventilated public toilets, leading to
health problems. To solve this problem, a low-cost hygiene monitoring device based on air
quality standards can be developed. This paper presents the development of an “IoT Enabled
Portable Air-Quality Monitoring and Control Device for Public Restrooms/ Toilets”. The
device is designed to monitor and regulate the air quality in public toilets up to some extent.
The device utilizes the ESP8266 microcontroller and MQ gas sensors to detect the presence
of harmful gases, such as ammonia, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, methane, etc. along
with some other parameters like temperature and humidity. This device also includes an
exhaust fan control system to maintain the air quality.

1.1 PROJECT OVERVIEW

In recent years, there has been a growing concern about air quality and its impact on
public health. Indoor air pollution, particularly in public restrooms and toilets, is a significant
issue that can adversely affect the well-being of individuals. Unpleasant odors, harmful gases,
and high humidity levels not only create discomfort but also contribute to the spread of diseases
and infections. To address these challenges, there is a need for an innovative solution that
enables real-time monitoring and control of air quality in public restrooms/toilets.

In this project, we present an IoT-enabled portable air-quality monitoring and control device
specifically designed for public restrooms/toilets. The primary objective of this device is to
monitor the concentration of gases, such as ammonia, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and
methane, as well as temperature and humidity levels, ensuring a safe and comfortable
environment for users. The device utilizes state-of-the-art components, including the
NodeMCU ESP8266 microcontroller, an OLED display for data visualization, gas sensors
(MQ135, MQ2, MQ4, and MQ7) for accurate gas detection, a DTH11 sensor for temperature
and humidity measurement, and a 16 channel Analog MUX to expand the analog pin count.

Moreover, our device incorporates a ventilation control system to actively manage the air
quality based on the measured parameters. By intelligently adjusting the ventilation, it aims to
remove pollutants, control humidity levels, and provide a pleasant restroom experience for
users. The device is also equipped with IoT capabilities, utilizing the ThinkSpeak website for
data transmission and remote monitoring.

Using software programmers like Proteus, Arduino IDE, and MATLAB, thorough simulations
were carried out to ensure the efficacy and dependability of our gadget. We were able to
confirm the precision of the data for temperature, humidity, and gas detection as well as the
correct operation of the ventilation control system thanks to the simulations. The outcomes of
these simulations gave us useful information that helped us design and build our device.

In the subsequent sections of this paper, we will present the detailed methodology, including
the design and calibration of the sensors, as well as the integration of the components. We will
then discuss the results obtained from real-world testing and evaluation of the device's
performance. Finally, we will conclude with a discussion of the potential applications and
