Pune: Ambee, the environmental intelligence company that measures air quality at a postcode level, has compiled a detailed analysis of air quality data before and after Diwali across several areas in the city.
It was noted by them that Karvenagar, Vadgaon Sheri, Viman Nagar, Airport and Vidyanagar were among the most polluted with average AQI above 140. The five least polluted areas were Shivajinagar, Congress House Road, Deccan Gymkhana, AR Shala and Film institute with average AQI around 90.
Ambee uses a multimodal approach to monitor air quality at a street by street level. Ambee’s proprietary algorithms carefully factor in human activities like garbage burning, vehicular traffic, construction and industrial emissions that play a major role in creating pollution, CO2 and GHG emissions, and other hyperlocal environmental factors.
