third stages of industrial development. Solapur had hit the national headlines for being the most polluted city in India next to surat during 2001.As national ambient air quality standards the solapur municipal corporation has installed electronic sensors to detect SPM-10, SPM-2.5, NOx, SO2, CO apart from temperature, humidity, rainfall etc. Various studies titled "An insight into the unseen: A case study of AAQ in Solapur city [17]", "Air affair in the proposed smart city of Solapur [18]". The finding indicates SPM-10 to be causing worry for the citizen and is largely on the higher side of tolerance limit during the dry months. Various mitigation measures such as plantation, golf courses etc. were proposed. The present

smart WSN and IoT based system be installed at various stations of WIT campus area, collected data and were displayed on Android App developed on users mobile phone, on Blynk Platform, on LabVIEW Front Panel and Arduino serial monitor window. The prime advantage of developed system is that remote monitoring and controlling of air quality has been initiated. The monthly average reading recorded at WIT Campus, Solapur by CPCB (Central Pollution Control Board) is shown in **Table 1**. Its graphical representation is shown in **Figure 18**.

After deploying the sensor nodes at different locations of WIT campus, the data gathered at co-ordinator node is presented in **Table 2**. The proposed system measures the various air quality parameters such as NOx, RSPM, Temperature,
