#Google street view Now Monitors Urban Air pollution Wee come to rely on Google street view for everything from roads to hiking paths to coral reefs,
Tech startup Aclima just announced a partnership with Google earth Outreach to equip Google street view cars with its mobile sensor platform.
Google, and EPA will empower people to eeurban air quality like never before, and could turn Google maps into platform for mapping environmental air quality against public health standards.
Google street view Maps Urban Air pollution Like Never Before Aclima equipped three Google street view vehicles for the Denver pilot program for a month-long system test during the DISCOVER-AQ study conducted by NASA and EPA.
The cars spent 750 hours of drive time gathering 150 million data points on nitrogen dioxide (NO2), nitric oxide (NO), ozone (O3), carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, methane, black carbon
which were correlated then with data from EPA stationary measurement sites. So far, EPA has relied on an extensive network of these stationary devices in urban areas to measure harmful airborne pollutants
