Soon people will be able to use satellite technology and artificial intelligence to track dangerous soot pollution in their neighbourhoods and where it comes from.

Former US vice president Al Gore, who started Climate TRACE, which uses satellites to monitor the location of heat-trapping methane sources, expanded his system to track the source and plume of pollution from tiny particles on a neighbourhood basis for 2500 cities across the world. 


Climate TRACE uses 300 satellites, 30,000 ground-tracking sensors and AI to track 1,37,095 sources of particle pollution, with 3937 of them categorised as “super emitters” for how much they spew. Gore hopes the data can be incorporated into weather apps, like allergy reports.
