Abstract: The present invention relates to a low-cost soil pollution detection sensor system designed for real- time monitoring of soil health. The system comprises a set of sensors, including pH, moisture, and temperature sensors, integrated with a microcontroller for data processing and analysis. The device is capable of detecting abnormal soil conditions and potential contamination by comparing measured values with predefined thresholds. The system is portable, user-friendly, and powered by a low-voltage source, making it suitable for field applications. The processed data is displayed through a digital interface, and in advanced embodiments, it can be transmitted wirelessly for remote monitoring. The invention offers an affordable alternative to traditional laboratory-based soil testing methods, enabling farmers and environmental professionals to make informed decisions regarding soil management. By facilitating early detection of soil pollution, the system helps in improving agricultural productivity, protecting environmental resources, and promoting sustainable practices. The invention is particularly beneficial for small-scale farmers and rural communities due to its low cost and ease of use.
