Breathe: AQI for JK & Ladakh

"Breathe, breathe in the air. Don't be afraid to care." Breathe is a modern, open-source Android application designed to monitor real-time Air quality data across the Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh region. Built using Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, Breathe offers a fluid, expressive interface following Material Design 3 standards. Why Breathe? Breathe provides localized air quality data by combining crowdsourced and open ground sensors with satellite modeling. Our goal is to offer accurate environmental data for the JK & Ladakh region in an open-source and transparent manner. Data Sources & Methodology Breathe aggregates data from multiple independent, publicly available sources: Local Sensors: For the Srinagar and Jammu regions, Breathe utilizes crowdsourced ground sensors from AirGradient (https://www.airgradient.com/) to provide real-time PM2.5 and PM10 readings. Environmental Models: For other pollutant concentrations and the remaining districts, Breathe integrates data from Open-Meteo (https://open-meteo.com/), an open-data meteorological provider. Calculations: AQI values are calculated based on established US-EPA and Indian National AQI (NAQI) standards. Important Disclaimer Breathe is an independent, Free and Open Source (FOSS) project. It is not affiliated with, authorized by, or an official representative of the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) or any government agency. The data provided is for informational purposes.
