The World Health Organization (WHO) has repeatedly stressed over the years that air pollution is one of the biggest threats to mankind alongside climate change. This is alarming considering 92% of people in the world live in places that do not adhere to air quality standards set by WHO.
Due to growing concerns regarding the detrimental impacts of air pollution, humans have resorted to devising innovative means to measure air quality levels. Artificial intelligence coupled with the modernisation of technology has led to people capitalising on their mobile phones to track air quality data and one’s exposure to pollutants.
