Pigeons and pollution are both serious problems in cities around the world, but a group of engineers in London are hoping the birds can help them solve problems with air quality. A technology company has revealed it is dealing with air pollution---monitoring backpacks(监测背包) onto ten pigeons in London to monitor air pollution over the next three days.
On Monday, the Pigeons were set free from a roof in Brick Lane by Brian Woodhouse. For three days, Londoners will be able to get live updates of the pollution by giving their location to @PigeonAir. Data from three of the ten pigeons, called Coco, Julius and Norbert, will then be used to instantly reply, telling them about the level of pollution in their area. A live map is also being updated as the pigeons fly around, giving the levels of pollution in different areas of the capital.
“People don't care about air pollution,” said Pierre Duquesnoy, who had the original idea. “The Pigeon Air Patrol(巡逻)is a perfect example of raising awareness of a serious health and environmental issue.”
