| Bengaluru: Everybody is on a pollution watch now, whether it is checking air particulate matter using filters or measuring temperature with sensors. This concern will find a voice at Datameet's fifth Open Data Camp, which kicks off on Saturday, where volunteer analysts and technologists will take a close look at data around pollution.
At the two-day Pollution Party at RMZ Infinity Tower, participants will look at the problem of sparse data about pathogens and other sources of pollution. The camp will also explore the role of citizen-driven data collection networks and the importance of standardizing information available in the open. Experts will talk about water, urban planning, emissions and the controversial Geo-spatial Bill 2016. Speakers include officials from the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board.
On Sunday, there will be a free workshop for children aged 12-17 years to train them in making sensors to monitor air pollution. For workshop registration, write to nisha@datameet.org tnn
