Problem
Cities and businesses face increasing pressure to address environmental challenges and comply with sustainability regulations, but often lack access to comprehensive, easily interpretable environmental data. Traditional methods of environmental monitoring are often costly, time-consuming, and lack the granularity needed for effective decision-making.
