Pollution AQI Tracker

The Problem:

• The Pollution level certain cities is just too high at times and can prove dangerous for many people. No strict measures of solutions are devised as of now to tackle the situation.

• Let’s take the example of Delhi-NCR region which is already amongst the most polluted cities of the world and which also happens to be my hometown. Since the starting i’m sick of that pollution and always wanted to do something in this regard.

• Now i have apt information and knowledge that I can make some steps in the direction with the help of technology. I would be doing this not only for my parents who live in Delhi-NCR but also for everyone suffering from the problem in the hope that this solution may just ease their a little bit.

The Solution:

• The Solution is to create a native Android Mobile application. It will draw real time data and status of pollution index from government agencies and forecasting bodies using APIs and show the data on a map title. It will then warn the users according to the pollution levels and measures to take to avoid the situation.

• Wearing a mask and boarding a taxi are one of the few advisable measures and various others can be added in the list. If possible, I'll also implement a feature which diverts the route to avoid high density pollution areas if the users signals no objection in doing so.
