The MQ-135 Air Quality Gas Sensor Module is a semiconductor-based gas detection module designed to monitor indoor air quality by detecting a wide range of harmful gases, including ammonia (NH₃), nitrogen oxides (NOx), benzene, alcohol, smoke, carbon dioxide (CO₂), sulfide, and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Built around the MQ-135 gas sensor and an onboard LM393 voltage comparator, the module provides both analog (AO) and digital (DO) outputs for easy interfacing with microcontrollers.

Operating at 5V DC, the module features an adjustable sensitivity potentiometer that allows users to set the digital detection threshold according to their application. Its fast response time, long operational life, and stable performance make it suitable for air quality monitoring, smart home systems, industrial safety equipment, environmental monitoring, and educational electronics projects. Compatible with Arduino, ESP32, STM32, Raspberry Pi (with ADC for analog input if required), PIC, AVR, and other development platforms, the MQ-135 is one of the most widely used air quality sensors for embedded systems.

FAQ

1. What is the MQ-135 Air Quality Gas Sensor Module used for?

The MQ-135 is used to monitor indoor air quality by detecting gases such as ammonia, nitrogen oxides, benzene, smoke, alcohol, CO₂, and other harmful airborne pollutants. It is commonly used in environmental monitoring, smart homes, industrial safety systems, and IoT projects.

2. Does the MQ-135 module provide both analog and digital outputs?

Yes. The module provides an analog output (AO) for measuring relative gas concentration and a digital output (DO) with an adjustable threshold using the onboard potentiometer.

3. Can the MQ-135 sensor accurately measure CO₂ concentration?

The MQ-135 is primarily an air quality sensor that responds to multiple gases. While it is sensitive to CO₂, it does not provide laboratory-grade CO₂ measurements. For accurate CO₂ monitoring, a dedicated NDIR CO₂ sensor is recommended.

4. Is the MQ-135 compatible with Arduino and ESP32?

Yes. The module is compatible with Arduino, ESP32, STM32, AVR, PIC, and Raspberry Pi. For analog measurements on Raspberry Pi, an external ADC is required.

5. Why does the MQ-135 require a preheating period?

The MQ-135 contains an internal heater that stabilizes the sensing element. A short warm-up period is required before normal operation, while an initial burn-in period of more than 24 hours is recommended for improved accuracy and stability.
