Despite nearly half of Amsterdam’s population cycling to get to their locations, air contamination is still an issue. So Google is bringing 2 of Project Air View’s Street View automobiles to get a much better concept of the city’s air quality, according to an article Thursday from Karin Tuxen-Bettman, program supervisor at Google Earth Outreach.

The automobiles are geared up with air sensing units to determine nitric oxide, nitrogen dioxide, ultra-fine dust and soot (incredibly little particles that are rarely determined), according to Google. Once the information in Amsterdam is examined, it’ll be shown the general public, researchers and other companies.

“This research can spread awareness about air pollution and help people take action,” Tuxen-Bettman stated. “Our hope is that small changes like this can help improve overall quality of life.”

Google is developing on its research study in London, Copenhagen, Houston and Oakland. By utilizing the Street View automobiles and tech established by Aclima, Google launched a map revealing block-by-block air quality info for Oakland, California, in 2017. The map offered street-level insights to where contamination was originating from. As of September 2018, Google had actually broadened its air quality mapping to 50 more Street View automobiles in more locations worldwide.
