New Resource: Plume Labs Launches World Air Map: First Live Map of Air Pollution Around the World

From Plume Labs Blog:

…we are thrilled to announce today [December 2, 2015] the launch of our World Air Map, a live map of air pollution around the world.
The data revolution can help policymakers cut air pollution and communities take back control of their environment. We collect half a million open data environmental measurements from 11,000 stations every day to build predictive models using open data and data sciences that anticipate hourly changes in pollution levels in 200+ metropolitan areas around the world.
By leveraging cutting-edge data sciences and technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning, we can now estimate hourly air pollution levels everywhere in the world – including in areas that aren’t monitored stations. T

These models also anticipate long-distance transport of air pollutants, helping strengthen forecasting accuracy in urban areas.
