Real-time Air Quality Monitor

The need to monitor air quality has never been more critical in today's rapidly changing environment, characterized by increasing urbanization and fluctuating climatic patterns. This project serves as a beacon for residents, policymakers, and health professionals, illuminating the complexities of air quality dynamics.

Harnessing the advanced capabilities of ArcGIS Pro, this repository showcases a cutting-edge mapping solution, updating air pollution levels in near real-time. The tool aims beyond data visualization, offering precise, prompt, and actionable insights. Sourcing data from multiple esteemed sources, including real-time updates from World Air Quality - OpenAQ, guarantees that all users, whether daily commuters or health advisors, access the vital information they require.

Key Features:

Dynamic GIS Dashboard:

  • Real-time data integration from World Air Quality - OpenAQ, providing a continually refreshed perspective.
  • Display air pollution concentrations across the region instantly.
  • Engaging heat map design that pinpoints pollution hotspots, assisting residents in their day-to-day activities.

Data Integration and Processing:

  • Utilizes respected, public datasets and sensors located throughout the region.
  • Personalized scripts filter and prepare this data, ensuring only the highest quality information is visualized within the ArcGIS platform.
  • Prioritizes timely data, ensuring users always see the most recent information.

Current Updates:

Focused on refining data processing methods to enhance the tool's efficiency. At the same time, delving into predictive analytics to anticipate potential pollution spikes using historical records, atmospheric conditions, and local events.

Future Goals:

  • Deepen understanding of GIS methodologies and tools to enhance the project's capabilities and features further.
  • Dive into the intricate functionalities of ArcGIS software to unlock more advanced visualization and analysis techniques.
  • Develop a web-based platform, utilizing ArcGIS Online, to allow users to monitor real-time air quality data from anywhere, enhancing accessibility and user engagement.
  • Continuously explore emerging technologies and methodologies within the GIS domain to stay at the forefront of spatial data analysis and visualization.
