+## Problem
Air Pollution is a huge issue in India, that is why I chose the theme 'Environment' to combat this issue
-### Solution

+
+## WorkFlow
+
+```
+Logic Behind the workflow
+```
+![Logic](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/navanchauhan/Ideate-for-India/master/assets/logic.png)
+----
+
+## Solution
The National Air Monitoring Programme provides real-time access to the Air Quality Index, but currently there is no API that can be utilised to fetch data in the json format. Therefore I use the [WAQI's](https://waqi.info) API to fetch the air quality index. The air quality is assigned three colours:
* Red - For Harmful Air Quality
* Yellow - For Moderate to Unsatisfactory Air Quality
* Green - For Good Air Quality

+
+* If the major pollutant is PM2.5, it deploys the Garuda Drone Module which can efficiently reduce PM2.5 via HEPA filters
+* If the major pollutant is dust and smoke, it deploys the Vasuki Drone Module, which is an Electro-Static Precipitator, which can efficiently reduce smoke and dust from industrial exhaust
+* Depending on the intensity of the situation, it can trigger the Sheesh module, which are affixed to street lights and charge via solar-energy. These can also act as Air Quality monitoring stations

+
+## Modules
+### Garuda Module
+Garuda is going to be a mini drone with a DIY mini HEPA filter, which could suck in PM2.5 Pollutants
+
+**Why HEPA?:** High Efficiency Patriculate Air Filter, can filter pollen, pet dander, dust mites, and tobacco smoke through a mechanical process wherein air is made to pass thorugh the filter. Researches have showed that HEPA filters are good at cleaning PM2.5 [1](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0048969717326426)
+
+----
+
+### Sheesh Module
+It is a photocatalytic air purifier that can be attached to existing street-lights
+
+**What is Photocatalytic Air Purifier?** Photocatalyic Air Purifiers use the power of light to convert nasty harmful air pollutants into harmless substances.
+
+**Don't Photocatalytic Air Purifiers produce Ozone?** They produce Ozone in minute quantities, and because this will be installed in streetlights, it would be away from the humans.

+
+### Vasuki Module
+It is an Electro-Static Precipitator, it can remove fine particles like dust and smoke from the air.
