Abstract : The PAPER addresses safety concerns in industries where workers face potential exposure to hazardous chemicals. Utilizing e-textile technology, the method develops a wearable smart system that incorporates chemical sensors into the fabric of industrial workers' protective clothes. A secure cloud-based architecture for effective data processing and storage, real-time notifications to warn employees of dangerous exposure levels, and ongoing chemical concentration monitoring are some of the key objectives. Transmitting exposure data to a centralized cloud platform, the e-textile operates as an Internet of Things (IoT) device. Implementing e-textile technologies, carefully choosing and integrating chemical sensors, using microcontrollers for efficient data management, putting communication modules in place for realtime data transmission, and creating user-friendly interfaces for mobile or web applications are all crucial project components. The report also highlights data analytics, which evaluates and forecasts possible long-term health effects using cumulative exposure data. The project's expected results include developing a working mobile or web application for real-time monitoring, creating a smart e-textile system prototype, and demonstrating how the system seamlessly tracks chemical exposure and sends data to the cloud. Analysing preliminary data will highlight the project's importance in enhancing occupational health by assessing the possible long-term impacts of chemical exposure in industrial settings.
