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

#Google throws nearly a billion Android users under the bus refuses to patch OS vulnerability When it comes to providing security updates for previous products,
Others, like Google and Apple, have pursued tighter timelines for security updates. Google is now doubling down on that schedule,
