Real-time Spatiotemporal Emissions Mapping under WP5 Asi@Connect

Environmental pollution has plagued almost every major city across Pakistan. Presently, Lahore, the second largest city of Pakistan, is ranked as one of the most polluted cities in the world in terms of air quality index together with Delhi, India. Conservation of environment through curtailment of environmental emissions is the need of the hour. However, before any mitigation and adaptation efforts are commenced to help the environment, it is of paramount significance to measure and analyse the spatiotemporal distribution and concentration of pollutant particles in the urban atmosphere. To this end, this project proposed the development of a real-time spatiotemporal emissions mapping mechanism through deployment of cost-effective and portable environment monitoring stations on service or public transportation vehicles.
