Geospatial AI, machine learning to be used for monitoring air quality

Geospatial artificial intelligence and machine learning based models will soon be used to monitor air quality in key Indian cities including Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, and Kolkata, a senior scientist said on Thursday.

Highlighting the increased use of mathematical modelling tools in India, ISRO chair professor at the National Institute of Advanced Studies P G Diwakar emphasised the importance of linking sustainable development goals and air pollution indicators.

Diwakar was speaking at the India Clean Air Summit (ICAS) 2023 organised by the Centre for Air Pollution Studies (CAPS) at the Center for Study of Science, Technology, and Policy (CSTEP) in Bengaluru.
