Amravati (Aditya Pratap), November 22: The multinational corporation and technology company Google has launched its new versatile environment platform, Air View+, an ecosystem-based solution, to help citizens and government authorities with hyperlocal air quality information. It is an artificial intelligence-driven air quality monitoring system across 150 suspected polluted cities that authorizes people to access the real-time pollution data through Google Maps.
The developed system will sensor and measure critical pollutants, including PM2.5, PM10, CO2, NO2, Ozone, and VOCs, at one-minute intervals. This will specifically be located at strategic locations such as administrative buildings, commercial centres, and central areas to maximize population coverage.
These days, Delhi has become the most polluted city in the world where these specific features may help the locals to know the environmental conditions.
The project combines many stakeholders, like the researchers from IIT Delhi and IIT Hyderabad, state pollution boards, and climate action groups such as CSTEP , that enable ecosystems for environmental monitoring.
How the public can access it?
This will be easy to access on your Google Map, where the weather conditions and pollutant level will be shown on your gadgets to check the weather. The system employs a sophisticated AI model that combines multiple data sources, including many sectors like sensor readings, government data, satellite imagery, weather patterns, and traffic conditions. It will customize the data presentation and align with the Indian National Quality Index (NAQI) and analyze its working methods and categorization, also to be accessible for the local.
Citizens can also access real-time air quality data through Google Maps on their digital gadgets. It now provides a new air quality layer. It integrates sensor data with inputs from satellites, government sources, and weather conditions. Now, Air View+ then calculates precise AQI numbers. Vulnerable groups, such as children and the elderly, can use this information to reduce outdoor exposure or wear protective tools like masks and N95 masks.
