Google Maps platform invited us to blog about our innovative use of air pollution data
Welcome to the thirty-seventh edition of our newsletter, as we move towards testing our low pollution routing function in time for Clean Air Day on 19 June! This newsletter is aimed at investors, collaborators, future hires and early adopters of our products.
On World Environment Day, we investigate the links between plastic and air pollution. When we think of plastic pollution, we often imagine oceans and landfills, but plastic is in the air too. As plastics break down, they release microplastics into the environment, which can travel thousands of kilometres through the air - from cities to mountaintops. Recent studies show that the average person could inhale 16.2 bits of plastic per hour, which is equivalent to a credit card in plastic each week.
We present an overview of AirTrackers' activities during 2024. The carousel will automatically scroll through and you can see where activities have taken place, and the levels of air pollution exposure by days and by sport. Seasons greetings to all!
