This paper presents an advanced embedded system for hazardous gas detection and environmental monitoring, designed to improve public safety and industrial risk management through real-time sensing and intelligent analytics. The proposed framework integrates multiple gas sensors, including MQ-2, MQ-7, and MQ-135, along with temperature, humidity, and fire sensors to detect combustible gases, smoke, toxic emissions, and fire hazards. These sensors are connected to an embedded microcontroller that continuously monitors environmental conditions and triggers instant alerts whenever abnormal readings are detected.To enhance operational efficiency, the system is integrated with Microsoft Power BI for real-time data visualization, dashboard reporting, and predictive analysis. The Power BI interface enables continuous monitoring of gas concentration, environmental temperature, humidity levels, and fire threats through interactive charts and alerts. Historical trends and analytical insights further support preventive decision-making and rapid response in hazardous situations.The proposed system is also deployed on a UAV platform, extending its capabilities to aerial surveillance and remote monitoring. This integration enables safe and efficient inspection of industrial facilities, disaster-affected regions, and inaccessible environments where human intervention is risky. The drone-based embedded system provides live environmental assessment, improving mobility, coverage, and situational awareness.Overall, the proposed solution offers a low-cost, scalable, and intelligent framework for hazardous gas detection, environmental safety, and smart city applications. By combining embedded sensing, wireless communication, UAV mobility, and business intelligence tools, the system delivers an effective approach for real-time monitoring, risk reduction, and improved emergency management.
