Air pollution is a major environmental concern in Hong Kong, yet many of us accept it as part of city living and believe that there is not much we, as members of the general public, can do about it.
This is not true, and a game-changing tool is about to change this mind-set.
Scientists from the Institute for the Environment at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) developed this smart city mobile app, powered by Personalised Real-Time Air Quality Informatics System for Exposure – Hong Kong (PRAISE-HK), to help us manage and reduce our individual exposure to air pollutants.
Combining state-of-the-art sensor technologies, air quality modelling systems, big data and exposure science, PRAISE-HK allows you to gain convenient access to real-time and 48-hour forecast air quality information at street level.
