The objective of this research study is to create an improvised air ionizer-purifier out of Arduino Interface and Date Palm seeds to reduce indoor pollution with the use of eco-friendly and economical resources. For the detection of air pollutants, Arduino Interface, an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software, was used for its boards to read inputs and turn them into outputs.Likewise, Date Palm seeds, a material with cleansing abilities, were used to create the activated carbon needed to make the air purification process more efficient.The improvised air ionizer-purifier functions as a cleanser of air pollutants and a creator of negative ions.Thus, it had three main components.The results of the study show the arrestance and dust holding capacity of the air purifier.Additionally, the air ionizer was proved through the air quality and the number of negative ions produced.Lastly, the sensor was tested over time.The results demonstrated that the improvised air ionizer-purifier was helpful in generating fresh air as a residential air purifier, contributing to the safety of the environment through effectiveness and detection time.
