Air Sensa

Environmental challenge(s) met
Air Quality

Country:
United Kingdom

City:
London

Outline of project:
The AirSensa initiative is aiming to build a network of up to 10,000 air quality sensors across Greater London with the ambition of collecting measurements of key air pollutants and atmospheric conditions in order to map air quality across the city. This network of sensors will be connected using Internet of Things (IoT) and GPRS technology.

In order to visually display the data collected from these sensors, AirSensa have developed an app that will allow its users to map routes across the city based air quality. It is hoped that by raising awareness of the issues surrounding air quality, this app will not only draw more attention to the negative impacts it has on citizen wellbeing; but will also become a tool for those who suffer with respiratory issues for getting around with as minimal impact on their health as possible.
