IOT Sensor For Methane Detection in an Apartment Complex

Natural gas leaks are a major safety hazard, causing fires, explosions, and methane exposure. With around 125,000 residential gas leak incidents annually in the U.S., early detection is critical. This research develops an IoT-based methane detection system that identifies leaks in real time and instantly alerts both homeowners and emergency services. By combining accurate detection with rapid emergency response, the project aims to enhance residential safety and prevent casualties from gas leaks.
