Project description
Improving air quality with Big Data analytics
Air pollution is harmful to the environment and human health. According to the European Commission, poor air quality causes over 390 000 premature deaths every year. While air pollutants’ emissions have decreased substantially in Europe over the past decades, their concentrations are still too high. Instruments to measure, monitor, record and analyse the environment can help reduce exposure to air pollution. The EU-funded startup Breeze Technologies will develop a new cloud-based data-driven system to assess the effectiveness of interventions and provide actionable insights. It will link decentralised networks of internet-connected sensors – both indoor and outdoor – and process the data in real-time through an artificial intelligence-powered platform.
