The pollution problems in the world aren’t new to anyone. Every day we hear people crying out loud how authorities need to wake up to handle the pollution crisis. However, even at the age of global knowledge, we find nothing remarkable taking place in order to fight pollution except IoT solutions. Big countries like China and India are having the poorest air quality, that has given birth to deadly diseases like lung cancer, bronchitis, asthma attacks, etc.

Even the World Health Organisation has pointed out that India has 20 million asthma patients.

What  is the World Doing to Solve Pollution Problems:

Like I said above, there is no visible initiative taking the pace that could help resolve the world pollution issues. However, experts believe that recognizing the extent of the problem is the only thing that helps in solving the issues. Therefore, quality control monitoring of the issues is the ultimate step to start with.

The old-times approach pressurizes the world leaders to come up with the solution of every world problem. However, new-world thinking believes in the power of technology and innovations. Therefore, modern times have enabled the Internet of Things to come up with solutions. Let’s see how far has this medium proven itself:

How is the IoT Solutions Helps in Fighting Against Pollution?

Internet of Things has brought great value to the world of technology and business. However, now it’s actively taking part in solving world issues One such world use is global warming and pollution issues.

Air pollution is the world’s fourth leading fatal health risk. Poor air quality in major cities can expose citizens to air pollution and lead to asthma attacks, lung cancer, heart disease or chronic bronchitis, states the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

Like I said above the biggest obstacle between quality air is the weak monitoring.

Here’s how IoT Solutions helps:

IoT Driven Air Quality Solution:

IoT has enabled the existence of Advances in low power wide area (LPWA) networks have led to the availability of small, portable, low cost, and always connected sensors.

Although the traditionally created established monitoring networks are not going to be replaced. Instead, governments are beginning to invest loads of money into policies and partnerships to explore IoT driven air quality solutions.

Countries that are working hand in hand with IoT Solutions:

Developed countries have always been quick in accepting innovations. This is why some of the countries belonging to the developed parts of the world have supported IoT:

Glasgow turns to IoT to monitor air-quality

Glasgow, the city in Scotland,  has been practicing its pilot project, “Sensing the City,” to monitor the pollution issues in the city and economic and standard monitoring way.

Sensing the City uses the Libelium IoT Sensor node to reduce pollution by monitoring using mobile technology.

China’s capital is one of the most pollution damaged cities in the world, In order to decrease the alarming conditions, Beijing’s tried some fascinating solutions.

The smog-free tower established in the city cleans 30,000 cubic meters of air every hour using just 1,170 watts of energy.

These are just some of the examples of IoT solutions helping the world in a fight the global issues.
