Abstract

Carbon dioxide (CO2) pollution is already in a dangerous state. CO2 pollution has an effect on increasing global warming. one of the causes of carbon dioxide pollution is peat soil. Indonesia is one of the countries with the largest peatlands in southeast asia. However, it is still rare to measure CO2 levels in peat soil. For the laboratory scale, this research makes measuring CO2 in peat soil. Measuring instrument of CO2 pollution level there are three parts, gas transmitter CO2 parts, peat soil reservoirs and sensor system. For sensor systems, using mg 811 sensor integrated with arduino and output from sensor in the form of voltage will be processed into PPM (Part Per Million). The method used is CO2 gas will be channeled to peat soil through transmitter and CO2 gas in peat soil will be measured by gas sensor. The result of this research has been made a measure of CO2 on peat soil with a length of 70 cm and width of 40 cm.To detect CO2 gas used mg 811 sensor, gas sensors can be used in the temperature range -20 to 50o C and sensitive at levels of 350 to 10000 ppm.
