In laboratories, pollutants from welding, auto repairs, or chemical experiments can drastically degrade the air quality in the campus, endangering the respiratory and cognitive health of students and staffs. Besides, in universities in Indonesia, automobile emissions of harmful substances such as carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and hydrocarbon (HC) have been a serious problem for a long time. Almost everybody is using a motorbike or a car every day in daily life, while the number of students is continuously increasing. However, people in many campuses including managements do not be aware these problems, since air quality is not monitored. In this paper, we present a real-time air quality monitoring system utilizing Internet of Things (IoT) integrated sensors capable of detecting pollutants and measuring environmental conditions to visualize them. By transmitting data to the SEMAR IoT application server platform via an ESP32 microcontroller, this system provides instant alerts through a web application and Telegram notifications when pollutant levels exceed safe thresholds. For evaluations of the proposed system, we adopted three sensors to measure the levels of CO, NO2, and HC and conducted experiments in three sites, namely, Mechatronics Laboratory, Power and Emission Laboratory, and Parking Lot, at the State Polytechnic of Malang, Indonesia. Then, the results reveal Good, Unhealthy, and Dangerous for them, respectively, among the five categories defined by the Indonesian government. The system highlighted its ability to monitor air quality fluctuations, trigger warnings of hazardous conditions, and inform the campus community. The correlation of the sensor levels can identify the relationship of each pollutant, which provides insight into the characteristics of pollutants in a particular scenario.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jsan14010002","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,25]],"date-time":"2024-12-25T19:27:46Z","timestamp":1735154866000},"page":"2","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Enhancing Campus Environment: Real-Time Air Quality Monitoring Through IoT and Web Technologies"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Alfiandi Aulia","family":"Rahmadani","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical Engineering, State Polytechnic of Malang, Malang 65141, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6582-3495","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yan Watequlis","family":"Syaifudin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Information Technology, State Polytechnic of Malang, Malang 65141, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Budhy","family":"Setiawan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical Engineering, State Polytechnic of Malang, Malang 65141, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6208-8472","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yohanes Yohanie Fridelin","family":"Panduman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Information and Communication Systems, Okayama University, Okayama 700-8530, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3234-3473","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nobuo","family":"Funabiki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Information and Communication Systems, Okayama University, Okayama 700-8530, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"470","DOI":"10.1038\/s41893-022-01032-1","article-title":"Urbanites\u2019 mental health undermined by air pollution","volume":"6","author":"Cao","year":"2023","journal-title":"Nat.
