Abstract
Harmful gas leakage accidents are the main reason for workers death in industries which work mainly using chemicals. Gas leakage can
be easily detected and controlled by using latest trends in information technology by applying internet of things. This project intended to
avoid industrial accidents and to monitor harmful gases and to intimate alert message to safety control board of industry using arduino
Uno r3 and internet of things. Arduino Uno r3 board is used as central microcontroller which is connected with sensor. Such as tempera-
ture, gas sensor, alcohol sensor which can continuously monitor respective environmental parameters. Hence this device may be used as
multi gases detection apparatus more over the rate of response is high. An alarm is produced instantly if the level of the gases goes above
the normal level means indication through the internet specific receiver section. Data received by sensor is stored in internet which can
be used for further processing and it can be analyzed for improving safety regulations. This model can be future extended for providing
better living environment for people in and around industries with a pollution controlled environment.
Keywords: Ardunio Uno R3, Gas Sensor, Radiation Sensor, Wi-Fi Module, Internet Of Things.
1. Introduction
These days harmful gases leakage is the main reason for industrial
accidents and depths of workers in industries. Pollutants released
by industries in to atmosphere is also a cause for the environmen-
tal pollution and such the reason greatly effects humans and ani-
mals health by minimizing the levels of oxygen and increasing the
levels of harmful gases like ammonia, carbon monoxide, nitrogen
trifluoride, sulfur hexafluoride etc,, .These gases are mainly the
reason for increasing the no of pollutants in atmosphere. These
environmental pollutants are mainly released by industries work-
ing with chemicals. Industries management only have a eye on
profits and consider environmental safety as least priority which in
turn affects the atmosphere and industrial workers health who are
living in and around industries as the level of harmful gases are
high around industrial areas compared to normal living places. As
the population depends more on usage of oil, gas and coal for
generating energy to meet the energy demand by increasing popu-
lation the release of harmful pollutants increases day by day .it is
observed that about a 1.1 billion of human population respiration
is done through unhealthy air and recorded 7 million deaths occur
globally [9, 10].Industries started peoples or industries owner fully
focus on the profit oriented. They do not focus on the workers,
people safety and environment safety also. Generally industries
are located in the outside cities. But some industries are located at
the middle of the cities and village because of the transport rea-
sons or for the availability of raw materials. Due to human error
and machine failures etc gas leakage accidents occur often but
ceases many workers in to death beds. Gas leakage and detection
of gas leakages and harmful gases in and around industries and
can be effectively handled by using sensors and automation using
IOT . Here we developed a basic model for detection of harmful
gases and measurement of harmful gases on a self-calibrated ppm
scale and notifying the workers of industry by sms in case any gas
leakage is occurred in any sector of the industry.
Hardware of system proposed
This system using limited gases sensor and limited radiation sen-
sor these sensors are collecting data transmitting using Wi-Fi
module to internet of things (IOT) module. Most dangerous area
accidents occur time intimated data sending speed is high must
need. IOT module using transmitting and receiving data range is
high and extendable as possible [1]& [2]. The poisonous gas and
radiation or leakage monitoring process of the system marked
with the importance of real-time detection and control of the poi-
sonous gas and radiation so as to automate the controlling and
monitoring system for real time utilization [7].

ing information data bit rate is 250 kilo bits per second [6]. This
system is mainly used wifi module transmitting and receiving
information data bit rate is 54 mega bits per second. wifi module

tion or location peoples or related government officers.
