On June 5th, 2018, the Atmospheric Mobile Monitoring Challenge was officially launched. The challenge competition collaborates with cities, monitoring companies, and investment institutions to explore refined pollution monitoring models using new technologies, helping to win the battle to protect the blue sky
Since last year, the blue sky defense battle has entered a stage of refined management, from "precise pollution tracing" to the formulation of pollution control measures for "one city, one policy".
Monitoring is the foundation of refined supervision, and the Ministry of Ecology and Environment has further reduced the management scale through hotspot grid management. On the basis of the pilot project in Cangzhou, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment is promoting 500 meter x 500 meter small grid monitoring, positioning, and implementing policies in the "2+26" cities of Beijing Tianjin Hebei, and has initially achieved the transformation of air pollution control from relying on experience and manpower to relying on data and technology.
Driven by new sensors, IoT technology, and big data technology, new low-cost pollution monitoring technologies are emerging, providing new opportunities for traceability and pollution control. This atmospheric mobile monitoring challenge is recruiting participation plans and co hosting cities from across the country, gathering the strength of governments, enterprises, and social organizations, with the goal of fine control of pollution tracing, encouraging the integration and analysis of multiple technologies and data, and drawing high-precision small grid air pollution distribution maps.
Zhang Jianyu, a representative of the Beijing representative office of the American Environmental Protection Association, one of the organizers of the event, pointed out that current technological innovation is bringing opportunities for environmental protection, and this change will be disruptive. Driven by new technologies, environmental governance has entered the fourth wave represented by technological innovation. It is precisely because we have seen this trend that we believe the challenge can encourage technological innovation, apply it in environmental protection, and help defend the blue sky.
Hu Qing, President of the Huanding Alliance and Director of the Engineering Technology Innovation Center (Beijing) at Southern University of Science and Technology, stated that large-scale cross-border cooperation driven by innovation is currently underway to solve common social problems. The ecological environment field should also actively introduce emerging technologies and create a new future of environmental protection through the "cross-border joint innovation" model.
Cangzhou and Xiangtan will become joint host cities to provide assistance in testing the new plan. Cangzhou City, as a pilot city for the Ministry of Ecology and Environment's hotspot grid, has currently built 368 micro stations, and Xiangtan City has also built 100 micro stations. As co host cities of the challenge, the good monitoring foundation of the two cities will provide data fusion support and assist in data calibration for the Atmospheric Mobile Monitoring Challenge. As a national hotspot grid pilot city, Cangzhou City co hosts this event, which will further expand the scope of hotspot grid pilot and accumulate experience for other cities in data collection, analysis, and fine supervision using high-precision grids.
