Hi Part of the discussion on facebook about air pollution in the city and i thought it would be great to use crowd sourcing to track and report burning of plastics/garbage in the city......anybody who can help me out to get this done ?
Ashwin Mahesh <http://www.facebook.com/ashwin.mahesh> Am trying to get hold of some ambient air quality measurement devices to track air pollution in the city. I feel if we open up this data, then there would be much greater pressure on the pollution control board and others to ensure that air quality in the city is of 'livable' standard, which I wonder about at present. We've already built the presentation and sharing platform for this at Mapunity, the only thing remaining is to install the devices in a few places where they can be linked to an internet connection. A few ppl around the city have offered to host such data points on their connection. That's all we need to do - crowd source the data, and demand measurable improvements. My comment on facebook : <http://www.facebook.com/shamala.subramanyan> Shamala Kittane Subramanyan <http://www.facebook.com/shamala.subramanyan> this is super ! but what may also be a good starting point is to get BBMP up about all the burning of plastics in the city (crowd sourcing here will call for immediate attention)). Its a norm for pourakarmikas to burn all the leaf litter and plastics on roadsides - we really got to get BBMP to become aware of its ill effects and impart the knowledge and awareness to pourakarmikas. I can pitch in for this....would really like to get involved in ways to improve air quality in the city. Thanks for bringing it up. Please let me know and we'll work on it.
