Default Google Straps Aclima Sensors To Street View Cars To Map Air Pollution

If a city knows what intersections are full of smog, it could add trees or change stop light schedules to improve the air its citizens breathe. Google Earth’s Outreach program that equips non-profits and public-benefit organizations with data wants to give the world these insights.Google revealed that it’s been working with SF startup Aclima for the last year and a half to attach air quality sensors to its Street View cars. “We designed our cities without data”, Aclima founder Davida Herzl tells me. Literally piggybacking on Google could let Aclima produce the data necessary to make urban areas easier on the lungs.The goal is to make this data like this available to citizens so they and their local governments can see pollution on their own streets.
