New Rickshaws & Pigeons - Monitoring Air Pollution


Delhi has 1 of the worst air pollution records inwards the world. London has the worst air pollution tape inwards Europe. Both cities notwithstanding are developing interesting ways to monitor approximately real-time air pollution.

In Delhi Project Peppered Moth has equipped 5 car rickshaws amongst cyberspace connected air pollution sensors. These sensors stair out air pollution every thirty seconds every bit they navigate approximately the city. The Project Peppered Moth website includes an interactive map which allows you lot to explore the readings from whatever of the rickshaws for whatever of the days that they cause got been inwards action.

The map shows color-coded markers for each reading taken yesteryear the sensors. I assume light-green markers scream for lower readings together with ruby markers demo higher readings.

London doesn't cause got every bit many car rickshaws every bit Delhi only it does cause got thousands of pigeons. Pigeon Air Patrol has developed tiny backpacks fitted amongst air pollution sensors. It has besides institute a seat out of pigeons who cause got agreed to wearable the backpacks on their daily commute approximately London.

The Pigeon Air Patrol website besides includes an interactive map which presents the pigeons' tracks together with the air pollution readings that the pigeons collected for what I assume was a exam run. If you lot click on whatever of the markers on the you lot tin read a summary of the air pollution grade (although they all look to state 'moderate pollution').

Now all nosotros need is for both cities to seat every bit much imagination into lowering air pollution every bit they are into monitoring it.
