The problem
Few official monitors exist, so pollution hotspots stay invisible.
What to build
Combine low-cost sensors, satellite aerosol data and traffic to estimate street-level air quality.
Success looks like
Estimates that track reference monitors within an agreed error and a hotspot ranking.
Suggested technologies
- Sensor calibration
- Spatial interpolation
- Satellite aerosol data
- Data fusion
- Maps
