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 -### WorkFlow + +``` +Script demo here: +``` + + +* 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.
