UNICEF and Solve for Good will work together to analyze various aspects of changes in air pollution especially, related with COVID-19 and to build a platform for air pollution monitoring with a strong emphasis on UNICEF’s operations. The platform will provide functions to manage, analyze and visualize changes in air pollution data at different locations preferably, in countries and cities where UNICEF operates with interests in air pollution monitoring for children’s health.

    notes from QA:

    The ultimate goal of the project is to build a platform to monitor air quality impact of specific policy interventions. COVID shutdown policies is a starting point to test out the idea.

    impact: children affected analysis using just the openAQ sensor versus the additional estimated pm 2.5 values

    notes from QA:

    estimating pm2.5 for areas that do not have sensors. how do we validate? how do we create train validation sets to mimic that? stratify validation set locations by density? find matched/similar areas to put in validation set?

    evaluation metric: discretize into band sizes that would matter in downstream analysis impact: compare to the previous year to baseline
