NASA has launched a satellite to monitor air pollution

 

Over the years, NASA has built and launched several satellites to monitor land and air pollution, and now a new satellite called Tipo will monitor North America. Tropospheric Emission Monitoring of Pollution Instrument”

Or Tipu will compare the changing atmosphere from one country to another or from one region to another. Its sensors will mainly measure three dangerous gases or components, including nitrogen dioxide, formaldehyde and ozone levels near the ground. It should be noted that increased amount of ozone is found in smog. Three of the eight states in the continental United States have smog levels so high that they are classified as F-grade. Lung diseases are also common in these countries and poverty has taken hold. NASA expert John Bahines said that there are oil factories in the areas where the air pollution is very high. However, ground sensors and monitors are not available everywhere and it is for this need that Tempo has been launched. The TIPO satellite, while in geostationary orbit, will hover or hover over a single location and thus record pollution at a single location. However, Tipu's data may take a few months to reach the public as it will open up all its devices in May or June.
