Air Pollution Component #236

Open timurglobal opened 8 years ago

timurglobal commented 8 years ago

Hello guys,

I have been thinking about this problem for quite some while, especially if you take in consideration my present location. I thought it would be nice to have Air Pollution component here in LB and to be able to incorporate the data in the graphs in conjunction with other stuff.

I've decided to just keep the idea to myself, thinking you guys are already busy anyway, until recent encouragement from Mostapha and decision to check out that nifty looking Sky Visualizer component where under turbidity_ it says something about bad air pollution in Beijng (which is not that bad compare to less popular places XD).

Anyway, Air Pollution is becoming a bigger problem everyday and not just in China or India, I think it is becoming more necessary to consider this factor, especially in countries already affected by the problem.

What is very nice about it, is that the foundation for data had been set and it is just a matter of a few clicks: http://aqicn.org/map/world/#@g/52.4934/45.6323/3z This is similar to what Mostapha (sorry if I don't mention others, I only remember him being mentioned) did with wonderful .epw map. capture

I know you guys are on the other side of the globe (although the Earth is flat XD) probably still sleeping and have a busy day ahead of you, so I will wait patiently for your reply and your thoughts on the problem and idea of the component.

With respect, Tim.

P.S. Turbidity up to 15, looks like your average Beijng. fooooo

@timurglobal , sorry for the incredibly late response. I'm not sure what function your air pollution component would perform but we are definitely open to incorporating one if you build something.
