Abstract

Air pollution and gas leaks threaten human health and the environment. Conventional gas monitoring systems often depend on a stable internet connection, which limits their effectiveness in remote or infrastructure-poor regions. This paper presents a cost-effective, offline gas monitoring system with a Raspberry Pi, MQ-135 sensor, MCP3008 ADC, and SIM800L GSM module. The system enables real-time detection of gas concentrations and provides immediate SMS alerts without requiring internet access, addressing critical limitations of current IoT solutions. By emphasizing modularity, scalability, and offline functionality, this design offers a reliable and practical approach for monitoring gas levels in environments with unreliable or unavailable network connectivity.

Keywords
