The team was led by Pro. Raghunathan Rengaswamy, Dean (Global Engagement), Department of Chemical Engineering, IIT Madras With these mobile monitoring devices, it would be feasible to map a whole city with excellent resolution for a fraction of the cost of a single reference monitoring station Researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT-M) have come up with a low-cost IoT-based mobile air pollution monitoring framework that uses sensors positioned on transportation systems to collect spatio-temporal data on air quality and constantly track the air quality of broad geographic regions with high degree of temporal and spatial accuracy. In other words, with these inexpensive mobile monitoring devices, it would be feasible to map a whole city with excellent resolution for a fraction of the cost of a single reference monitoring station. In the past, monitoring stations were keeping track of ambient air quality and put out the results as the “Air Quality Index...
