        abstract = {Nowadays, environmental degradation and pollution are rising at an alarming rate, posing serious health and ecological risks. Real-time monitoring of environmental parameters has become essential for ensuring public safety, early hazard detection, and supporting sustainable development. With increasing demand for portable and intelligent monitoring systems, the integration of IoT-based solutions is proving to be highly effective. In this context, we propose an environmental monitoring system based on the ESP32 microcontroller that can be deployed in various environments including remote or mobile settings. The system integrates multiple sensors such as the BMP280 for atmospheric pressure and temperature, the MPU6050 for motion and tilt detection, the MQ2 gas sensor for smoke and gas leak detection, an LDR for measuring light intensity, and the NEO-6M GPS module for location tracking. Data collected from these sensors is processed and transmitted to a web interface using MQTT protocol, with local display via a 0.96- inch OLED screen. Power is managed using a rechargeable battery setup with a DC-DC converter and power control circuit, making the device energy-efficient and portable. This paper aims to provide an accurate, scalable, and cost-effective solution for environmental data collection and monitoring, suitable for smart city applications, disaster-prone zones, and mobile deployments.},
