Our team of researchers used data analysis to build a database and a prototype app that's in development. Our starting point was to explore how real-world data can be applied to tackle the problem. Specifically, we explored the Google Air Quality dataset, which was recently made available to the public and contains rich information about air quality in various places and times in Dublin city.

Specifically, the Android app uses a map that users can input where they want to start and finish their trip. Then, it shows the routes with the shortest distance or the least pollution.
Better Health: They can reduce their exposure to harmful pollutants, which can lead to improved respiratory and cardiovascular health.
