Abstract: The present invention relates to an air quality notifying device connecting an air quality measurement device and a wireless terminal, and an air quality notifying method therefor, which can transmit, to a wireless terminal, and check a measurement value measured in a gas measuring instrument measuring the types and concentrations of various gases maintained in the atmosphere, such that ordinary people can easily recognize the measurement value by handling a measurement place and a situation suitable thereto and performing a notification function. That is, the air quality notifying device connecting an air quality measurement device and a wireless terminal comprises: an air quality measurement device (10) comprising a gas detection sensor (11) for measuring the types and the content of various harmful gases dispersed in the atmosphere, an environment measurement sensor (12) for respectively measuring the temperature, humidity, and fine dust or the like of a gas measurement place, an air quality determination module (13) for deriving a measurement value by collecting and determining an air quality state in the atmosphere according to the detected detection gases and the content thereof, and the surrounding environment such as temperature, humidity, and fine dust, an air quality communication module (14) for transmitting, to the outside, through communication facilities, the measurement value of air quality derived from the air quality determination module (13), and a notification module (15) for notifying the outside of a risk if the measurement value of the air quality derived from the air quality determination module (13) is measured as a set value or more; and a wireless terminal (20) comprising a communication control module (21) for receiving the air quality measurement value by connecting, through communication, to the air quality communication module (14) of the air quality measurement device (10), air quality data (22) for storing, as database, characteristics of various harmful gases, the degree of harmfulness according to the content of harmful gases in the air, and a coping method with respect to a detected place, an air quality measurement application (23) programmed to substitute the air quality measurement value received through the air quality measurement device (10) with a data value stored in the air quality data (22) so as to collect situation explanations and coping plans according to the substituted air quality measurement value, a display checking module (24) for displaying, so as to check, the air quality measurement value and the respective situation explanations and coping plans according to the air quality measurement value collected through the air quality measurement application (23), and an application operating unit (25) for selectively controlling and driving the air quality measurement application. Therefore, the air quality notifying method connecting an air quality measurement device and a wireless terminal sequentially progresses by: an air quality determination step (100) comprising an air quality value deriving step (130) of determining an air quality state in the atmosphere according to harmful gases and environments measured by respectively carrying out a harmful gas measurement step (110) of dividing, by type, harmful gases maintained in a measurement place through a gas detection sensor (11) while the air quality measurement device (10) is maintained in the measurement place and measuring the content of the harmful gases, and an environment measurement step (120) of measuring the temperature, humidity, and fine dust through the environment measurement sensor (12) provided in the air quality measurement device (10); a communication connecting step (200) of selectively executing the air quality measurement application (23) downloaded in the wireless terminal (20) so as to connect the communication of the air quality measurement device (10) and the wireless terminal (20); an air quality value receiving step (300) of receiving, in the air quality measurement application (23), through the communication control module (21), an air quality determination value measured from the air quality measurement device (10) through the communication connecting step (200); an air quality value displaying step (400) of deriving, in the display checking module (24) of the wireless terminal, an air quality measurement value inputted into the air quality measurement application through the air quality value receiving step (300); an air quality value substitution step (500) of dividing the air quality value displayed through the air quality value displaying step (400) into respective harmful gases or combining the same into a plurality of harmful gases through the application operating unit (25), and substituting the gases to the database stored in the air quality data (22); a coping plan displaying step (600) of deriving, in the display checking module (24), coping plans according to an air quality state in which all gases divided or measured according to the types and the concentration of the respective gases substituted through the air quality value substitution step (500) are combined; a coping plan checking step (700) of determining whether the coping plans derived in the display checking module (24) through the coping plan displaying step (600) are checked; and an emergency calling step (800) of making an emergency call by specified another communication if the air quality state of the coping plans derived through the coping plan displaying step (600) has a set value or more, or if the air quality state derived through the coping plan checking step (700) indicates a danger level, such that the air quality of a measurement place is precisely measured and the coping plans can be quickly searched for according to the air quality, thereby using the coping plans.
