• Authors: Noble Saji Mathews, Sridhar Chimalakonda, Suresh Jain
• Abstract summary: AiR considers the air quality measured by CPCB, in a locality detected by the user's GPS or in a locality of user's choice, and visualizes various air pollutants present in the locality. AiR also creates awareness in an interactive manner about the different pollutants, sources, and their impacts on health.

• Abstract: Air quality is a term used to describe the concentration levels of various pollutants in the air we breathe. The air quality, which is degrading rapidly across the globe, has been a source of great concern. Across the globe, governments are taking various measures to reduce air pollution. Bringing awareness about environmental pollution among the public plays a major role in controlling air pollution, as the programs proposed by governments require the support of the public. Though information on air quality is present on multiple portals such as the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), which provides Air Quality Index that could be accessed by the public. However, such portals are scarcely visited by the general public. Visualizing air quality in the location where an individual resides could help in bringing awareness among the public. This visualization could be rendered using Augmented Reality techniques. Considering the widespread usage of Android based mobile devices in India, and the importance of air quality visualization, we present AiR, as an Android based mobile application. AiR considers the air quality measured by CPCB, in a locality that is detected by the user's GPS or in a locality of user's choice, and visualizes various air pollutants present in the locality $(PM_1{}_0, PM_2{}_.{}_5, NO_2, SO_2, CO, O_3 \& NH_3)$ and displays them in the user's surroundings. AiR also creates awareness in an interactive manner about the different pollutants, sources, and their impacts on health.

  Monitoring stations have been established to continuously obtain air quality information, but they do not cover all areas.

We propose a neural network-based approach AIREX to accurately infer air quality in unmonitored cities.
