Delhi Chokes: Will Delhi's air ever be breathable?

Delhi is currently facing severe air pollution, with smog enveloping the city and affecting daily life, forcing schools to close and keeping people indoors

Google has introduced Air View+, a cutting-edge AI-powered tool, to help tackle this issue by providing real-time, hyperlocal air quality information

Air View+ uses a network of air quality sensors across more than 150 cities in India, monitoring pollutants like PM25, PM10, CO2, NO2, Ozone, and VOCs.

The data from these sensors is validated and calibrated in collaboration with institutions like IIT Delhi and IIT Hyderabad to ensure accuracy

Google AI processes data from various sources, including satellite imagery and weather patterns, to generate actionable insights on air quality

This tool collaborates with local climate tech firms, sustainability startups, and municipal corporations to create a comprehensive framework for addressing air pollution

Air View+ aims to make data meaningful and accessible, helping stakeholders take immediate preventive actions and plan long-term solutions

By turning data into action, Air View+ offers hope for cleaner skies, empowering India to breathe easier, one city at a time

While technology like Air View+ plays a crucial role, the fight against air pollution also requires stricter regulations and community-driven initiatives
