Urban Air Quality Monitoring and Health Alert Network
CaseStudy Title: Urban Air Quality Monitoring and Health Alert Network
Problem
Rapid urbanization and industrial activity in Lagos and other major Nigerian cities have pushed air pollution to hazardous levels. Citizens lack access to real-time, hyperlocal air quality data, leaving vulnerable populations — especially children and the elderly — exposed to dangerous particulate matter without warning.
Solution by StrikeClimate
Deployed a network of low-cost IoT air quality sensors across high-density urban zones, feeding data into a cloud-based analytics dashboard that generates real-time Air Quality Index (AQI) maps and automated health advisories pushed to residents via mobile notifications.
Features:
- Real-time hyperlocal AQI maps accessible via web and mobile
- Automated health advisories triggered by pollution thresholds
- Historical pollution trend analysis for policy advocacy
- Open API for researchers and public health organizations
Technologoes:
- Low-cost PM2.5 and PM10 IoT sensors
- LoRaWAN wireless communication
- Cloud-based analytics and AQI mapping
- Push notification and SMS alert system
Impact
- Provided real-time air quality data covering 500,000+ urban residents
- Enabled 15 schools to implement pollution-triggered indoor recess protocols
- Supplied evidence that informed two municipal clean-air policy proposals
