Abstract

Monitoring of environmental pollution level on campus is very important to do. According to UI GreenMetric 2018 data, there are 719 campuses to participate in the developing of green campus and issues of sustainability. One of assessment is implementation of smart system to solve environmental problems in the campus area.
To develop a monitoring tool for environmental pollution levels in campus of Politeknik Negeri Medan.
Device is consists of hardware and software. The hardware is sensors, OBD module, SIM808, RTC module, micro SD and ESP32 microcontroller. Software is done based on webserver and database server.
There are several parameter that changes if pollution has occurred, namely the density of dust particles, humidity, light intensity, CO2 levels and noise. Furthermore, information about environmental pollution data can be displayed and accessed in real-time via smartphones and computers.
Environmental Pollution Monitoring Tool will be installed 2 place in Politeknik Negeri Medan campus area, one of close to parking area and one of lecture building. This is in preparation for development a green campus.
