Google has launched an innovative solution to tackle Air pollution in India. Its called Air View+ and it leverages Google AI to deliver hyperlocal air quality insights across 150+ cities in India. This ecosystem-based approach integrates real-time data from strategically placed sensors, measuring pollutants like PM2.5 and NO2, as well as environmental factors. The impact is already visible. Navi Mumbai used Air View+ data to guide its climate action plan, including tree plantations and expanded electric public transport. Similarly, Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar pinpointed pollution hotspots to implement targeted measures. This effort highlights how AI can tackle some parts of pressing urban issues.

We had successfully launched Pollution Watch in NDTV with EFIE as our partner and it ran for a long time. When I was in NDTV. The year was 2000. Good to see this progress. Indexing vulnerabilities in urban environments is key to building back sustainability. ML is key. Happy to collaborate on this, pl let me know.
