Particulate matter (PM) is a type of air pollution that is generated by a variety of human activities, can travel long distances in the atmosphere and causes a wide range of diseases and a significant reduction of life expectancy in most of the population. Our project is to develop a portable device at low cost to map with a high precision and in 3D the pollution in cities. DusTrack’R performs real-time computation of prediction models to calculate PM concentration using a set of sensors (temperature, pressure, humidity, GPS) that were assembled, programmed and validated in various conditions such as during peaks of pollution in France. DusTrack’R can be attached to a drone and its accuracy is as good as expensive stations for air quality monitoring in use by the French government.
