Maqyas – Monitoring Air Quality in Real Time
- Air pollution silently threatens public health, ecosystems, and economic stability, yet many regions lack the tools to monitor and address it effectively. Without accurate data, communities remain unaware of pollution levels, leaving them vulnerable to health risks and unable to enact informed policies.
- Maqyas is an innovative initiative designed to combat air pollution by deploying a network of IoT-connected sensors that deliver real-time, precise air quality data. By empowering individuals, businesses, and governments with actionable insights, Maqyas fosters healthier communities and supports sustainable environmental management.
