Agendra Kumar, Managing Director, Esri India, said, “Air pollution is one of the most serious and rapidly growing problems, especially in urban centers of India like Delhi. GIS can aid in monitoring air pollution and reducing the hazard by providing a spatial framework for collecting, analyzing, and visualizing air quality data. By facilitating integration of data from various sources, such as ground-based air quality monitoring stations, satellite observations, and meteorological data, GIS can help in creating real-time maps that highlight pollution hotspots and track spatial patterns of air quality over time. These details can significantly help in informed decision-making, empowering administrators to implement targeted interventions and create a cleaner, more breathable environment.”
