The system collects environmental data, processes it using a C program, and displays it through a web interface accessible from any device on the network. +Air quality is a critical factor that threatens the lives and well-being of urban and rural populations around the world. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 98% of the world's population lives in places where air quality is very poor, leading to serious public health problems, respiratory and cardiovascular diseases.Based on this, improving air quality has become a priority. + +Based on this, improving air quality has become a health priority, but unfortunately fixed monitoring stations are too large, expensive and have limited coverage, usually located in urban areas and do not provide detailed data on air variation making it difficult to identify pollution hotspots. + +This project represents the first functional integration of the HTU21D sensor for temperature and humidity measurement within a series of environmental sensors that will be implemented to develop an architecture and device for a network of micro weather stations to measure air quality and offer an monitoring system. +This architecture and device are low-cost and easy to implement in urban areas to identify air pollutants and obtain detailed data. This data will be sent to a centralized platform (main server) in real time, enabling accurate decision-making and raising awareness about air quality. + +The network that will connect these micro wheater stations is based on an IoT infrastructure, wich facilitates communication and connectivity between stations, allowing the colletion of data onchanges in the air. ---
