Abstract

The indoor air quality is a critical issue that must be addressed as it can have an impact on human health. The numerous activities taking place indoors can lead to air pollution, making it a serious concern. Indoor air pollution sources include cigarette smoke and emissions from electronic devices. Therefore, there is a need for a device to monitor the indoor air pollution levels, as well as to determine the temperature and humidity in the surroundings, aiding in measuring air quality. Data collection was conducted in the offices of the BPBD Ciamis City, with a focus on measuring the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO₂). This system is designed using an MQ135 sensor to detect CO₂. The system can monitor and measure the air quality indoors, displaying two conditions: good and hazardous air quality. Additionally, the system incorporates notification features to alert occupants about the air quality in the surrounding area. With this information, workers can determine whether the environment is safe or hazardous to their health. The assessment index for good or hazardous air quality, based on PMK RI Number 1077 of 2011, establishes a minimum limit for CO₂ concentration at 1000 ppm (parts per million). It is expected that the implementation of the indoor air quality monitoring system can create a healthier and more comfortable environment for occupants.
