A unique project utilising cutting-edge drone-based technology was launched on Tuesday to identify the relative share of different sources of air pollution in major hotspot regions of Bengaluru. The National Institute of Advanced Studies (NIAS), along with the Environment Management Policy Research Institute ( EMPRI), launched the project.
Experts opined that the project will assist Bengaluru in two ways.
“It will aid the development of an air quality early warning system and provide recommendations to authorities like BBMP to prioritise the mitigation planning to eradicate the menace of air pollution,” NIAS said in a statement.
