Hyperlocal monitoring of air quality to drive evidence-based policy interventions for clean air
ABSTRACT
Aurassure revolutionizes air quality management through a hyperlocal monitoring approach that has generated nearly 2 million data points across 25+ cities in India. This extensive dataset, focusing on criteria pollutants, greenhouse gases, and noise levels, enables evidence-based policy interventions. By strategically deploying stationary and mobile devices in pollution hotspots, Aurassure identifies sources and employs advanced modeling techniques for a comprehensive understanding of pollutant dispersion. The initiative’s impact is evident in its role as a catalyst for targeted interventions by city governments, driving health-conscious decisions and contributing to the creation of cleaner, sustainable urban environments.
