Delhi has 1 of the worst air pollution records inwards the world. London has the worst air pollution tape inwards Europe. Both cities nevertheless are developing interesting ways to monitor virtually real-time air pollution.
In Delhi Project Peppered Moth has equipped v machine rickshaws amongst cyberspace connected air pollution sensors. These sensors mensurate air pollution every xxx seconds every bit they navigate around the city. The Project Peppered Moth website includes an interactive map which allows yous to explore the readings from whatever of the rickshaws for whatever of the days that they direct maintain been inwards action.
The map shows color-coded markers for each reading taken yesteryear the sensors. I assume greenish markers dot lower readings as well as ruby-red markers demo higher readings.
London doesn't direct maintain every bit many machine rickshaws every bit Delhi simply it does direct maintain thousands of pigeons. Pigeon Air Patrol has developed tiny backpacks fitted amongst air pollution sensors. It has likewise flora a seat out of pigeons who direct maintain agreed to vesture the backpacks on their daily commute around London.
The Pigeon Air Patrol website likewise includes an interactive map which presents the pigeons' tracks as well as the air pollution readings that the pigeons collected for what I assume was a exam run. If yous click on whatever of the markers on the yous tin read a summary of the air pollution grade (although they all look to state 'moderate pollution').
Now all nosotros involve is for both cities to seat every bit much imagination into lowering air pollution every bit they are into monitoring it.
