This study focuses on the architecture of an intelligent system designed for real-time environmental monitoring in smart cities. The system aims to improve urban quality of life by addressing air pollution and climate change and assessing their impact on public health. The proposed system uses Arduino technology and integrated sensors to monitor PM10, PM2.5, toxic gases, and temperature. It incorporates a database in InfluxDB and Node-RED for efficient data management and visualization. The analysis employs the Knowledge Discovery in Data (KDD) methodology, Principal Component Analysis (PCA), and the DBSCAN algorithm for clustering high-pollution areas. The findings highlight the significant impact of air quality variables on environmental comfort. The system effectively identifies areas with high pollution levels, enabling informed urban planning and decision-making. In conclusion, this study emphasizes the need for effective air quality management and cross-sector collaboration to create healthier urban environments. The intelligent system demonstrates the potential for enhancing environmental comfort and addressing the environmental challenges of modern cities.} }
