Air Quality Sensor Network Offers Highly Detailed Pollution Map In Camden
Developed by AirScape, the fixed network has 225 AirNode sensors that will provide 45 times more data points and refreshes 60 times more regularly than existing air-quality reference stations, to show a street-by-street picture of air quality in real time. The data collected will be made freely available online to enable individuals, businesses and local authorities to make quality-of-life decisions that improve air quality for all. The National Audit Office recently said that government initiatives to cut air pollution have “not moved as fast as expected” and it is unclear how current 2030 targets for the UK will be met. AirScape said the new project could form a blueprint for other London boroughs and cities around the world to improve the health and wellbeing of the public.
