How Simple Monitors Can Prevent Air Pollution-Related Illness
Briefly

Air pollution is the world's second-largest cause of death, claiming 8.1 million lives annually, emphasizing the urgent need for enhanced air quality monitoring and management.
The current air quality monitoring networks are severely lacking in granularity, with only one EPA monitor for every 750 square miles in the U.S. and one per 3,000 square miles in India.
Accurate air quality information is essential; inadequate data can lead to both health risks for individuals venturing outdoors and wasted resources due to unnecessary absences from schools or workplaces.
To combat air pollution effectively, we need innovative real-time data solutions, akin to Waze or Google Maps, allowing everyone to access vital air quality information effortlessly.
