Google’s smart speaker Nest Hub to warn users about air pollution.

Diluting the air pollutants is the best measure for controlling air pollution. Clean technologies would reduce greenhouse gas emissions and save consumers billions in fuel costs. Industrial emissions are one of the major causes of air pollution; the pollutants can be controlled or treated at the source itself to reduce its effects. Use of clean energy resources like solar, wind and geothermal energies reduce air pollution at a larger level which is a step towards a cleaner environment. At times, controlling pollutants at the source is not possible. In that case, we can have process control equipment to control the pollution. Plants and trees reduce a large number of pollutants in the air. Hence, planting trees in areas of high pollution levels will be extremely effective.

However, starting with the US and to be available in select markets soon, the new AQI (Air Quality Index) badge is included in the clock/weather widget in Nest Hubs. Google’s smart speaker Nest Hub will warn users about air pollution and smoke in their vicinity so that they can take precautionary measures.
