Our team in Indore has been analyzing data from #airquality sensors installed in 2023. Check out what they have identified as the first insights from the data:
🆕Rush hours aren’t just for traffic jams - they're also peak times for #airpollution. 🚗💨 New data from #Indore shows PM2.5 spikes up to 140 µg/m³ at 8 AM & 8 PM, 3x higher than off-peak levels. How can cities use this data for #cleanairaction? Read on➡️ bit.ly/4bNEXJ2
