As part of its ‘United for Air’ initiative, Carrier India will install LED display boards across Delhi-NCR which will display real-time air quality index and suggest ways to tackle air pollution. Starting its campaign, the company has installed 17 LED display boards in key locations in Gurugram.
“Carrier India continues to expand United for Air, a corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative designed to educate and bring communities together to work for cleaner outdoor air. Carrier plans to install additional air monitors and LED display boards to make real-time data accessible to more residents of Gurugram. It will take this initiative to other locations of Delhi-NCR soon,” said a statement.
These boards will display air quality on the basis of data collected from air quality monitors installed in the nearest location. The company has installed eight such air quality monitors in collaboration with Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority.
The air quality monitors connect with LED boards that display real-time PM2.5 and PM10 levels, along with recommendations such as ‘Go for an evening walk’ and ‘Do yoga outdoors’ when conditions are good, and ‘Wear masks’ and ‘Avoid strenuous activities’ when pollution levels are high.
