Chennai Metro city is getting ready to be fitted with air quality monitoring systems.
Raheel Khursheed, Head - News, Politics, Govt @TwitterIndia, said, We have a couple of sensors in Chennai right now. Scaling soon.
Twitter launched the #Breathe hashtag service jointly with @IndiaSpend to enable Indians to get real-time information about the air pollution levels around them through a simple tweet.
Mr. Khursheed informed that pollution was rising at an alarming rate and there were frequent discussions about the air quality in India. However, the situation is set to change on #EarthDay2016.
Once there is a tweet with #Breathe and a location in a city, the reply would be a real-time update about the air quality in that area. This would also include a visual notification with a measurement of the air quality along with possible health implications.
Currently, live air pollution data is available in other metro cities Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru.
