Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras have developed an inexpensive Internet of Things (IoT)-based mobile air pollution monitoring framework. The team behind the work, called Project Kaatru (meaning air in Tamil), used IoT, big data and data science to provide a hyperlocal air quality map for all of India, as well as providing exposure assessments for each citizen. In addition, it offers data-driven policies, intervention and mitigation strategies. The portable device can be mounted in mobile vehicles, helping to gather spatio-temporal air quality data. Mobile sensors can be used for personal and public health initiatives. The vehicle mounted devices are also capable of measuring multiple parameters such as particulate matter and gases.
