NEW YORK (AP) – Soon, people can use satellite technology and artificial intelligence to track dangerous soot contamination in their neighborhoods.
Goa has begun Climate tracesSatellites were used to monitor the location of the source of heat confinement methane, and on Wednesday he expanded his system to track sources of contamination and cultivation from small particles often referred to as soot on a neighbourhood basis in 2,500 cities around the world. Particle contamination is killed Millions of people all over the world Tens of thousands of US each year – according to Scientific research and report.
Using 300 satellites, 30,000 ground tracking sensors and artificial intelligence, Gore’s Coalition tracks 137,095 particle contamination sources, of which 3,937 are classified as “super emitters.” Users can see the long-term trends, but in about a year, Gore hopes that these will become available every day, so they can be incorporated into weather apps like allergy reports.
It’s not just about looking at contaminants. Website It shows who is spitting them out.
“Before AI, it’s hard for people to really see where this traditional air pollution came from,” Gore said. “When it ends in their homes and in their neighborhoods and people have a very clear idea about this, I think they are empowered by the truth of their situation.
Unlike methane, soot pollution is not technically a climate issue. Because it doesn’t warm the world, but it comes from the same process: fossil fuel burning.
“It’s the same fuel combustion process that produces both greenhouse gas pollution and particulate contamination that kills around 9 million people each year,” Gore said in a video interview Monday. I recently spent a week at Cancer Alley, located between Baton Rouge and New Orleans, where the US petrochemical industry is based. This is a 65-mile (105km) stretch. As you know, analysis was conducted on both sides of the river using climatic trace data. If cancer alleys are nations, their per capita global warming pollution emissions rank fourth in the world after Turkmenistan. ”
The Gore company discovered Karachi, Pakistan, but most people were exposed to soot contamination, followed by Guangzhou, China, Seoul, South Korea, New York City and Bangladesh.
