PROBLEM STATEMENT:
It is proven that air pollution changes
abruptly even at relatively short distances, both
horizontally and vertically. Air pollutants are
especially difficult to monitor with conventional
and cheap means of observation. This might,
however, change with the usage of drones of
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Why? Because
UAVs and drones, with the passage of time, are
quickly adapting to become devices capable of
carrying sophisticated tools of investigation and
monitoring and processing the data that they
record or collect.
OBJECTIVES
To make a autonomous drone to find the air
polluted area collect air samples and send the location
through the GPS to the ground station .Drone took off
and go to the defined areas to survey there if any
industries or some places emitting the poisonous gas
.our drone will detect that place send the location to
the ground station and return to the launching pad.
WORK PLAN:
 Making a drone
 Make it both Manual and Autonomous Control
 Self designed Printed Circuit Board for the IR SPECTROPHOTOMETER mount
 SPECTROPHOTOMETER MOUNTING
 Connect with GPS
 Testing
WORK DONE
•First we plan to mount the gas sensors but spectrophotometer is more effective than gas
sensors
•Developing the coding knowledge
FUTURE WORK TO BE DONE:
 Builting a drone for carrying our payload
 Drone calibration
 Our drone will be a AUTONOMOUS flying object so made it for
AUTONOMOUS flying.
 Design a PCB board for mounting the SPECTROPHOTOMETER
 Knowing about the GAS sensing SPECTROPHOTOMETER
 Making the integrated payload
 Connect the drone path with GPS
 Testing the drone in located areas.
