In this paper a cost efficient, portable, easily manageable Arduino based device has been presented to monitor air quality. The device works by collecting data of quantity of specific harmful gases and the amount of dust present in the air. This device can be located at any place and the data can be transferred to an Android phone via Bluetooth or simply by connecting the device to a PC/laptop. Data collected by the device from different places can be later examined to make further decisions and analysis about the state of air quality; furthermore, it can also help concerned individuals to act upon it.
