The Plugin and Inclusive Growth Chain have collaborated to
implement the ‘Project Pollution Check’. The Pollution Check is
designated to collect and tabularize the data regarding air
pollution. And further help end-users like air purifier producers,
realtors, and the environment conversalists both in public &
private sectors. In this context, let’s investigate the Plugin and
Inclusive Growth Chain partnership and the way the ensuing
blockchain-based answers will assist to enhance real-time
air-pollutants tracking and ease the development of specific
blockchain outcomes. Today, poor ambient air quality is one of the
most crucial public health concerns around the globe. Exposure to
polluted air causes more than 6.6 million premature deaths each
year and makes up close to 8% of the global burden of disease.
What’s more, exposure to air pollutants reaches far beyond
respiratory illnesses. Research shows that there are links between
air pollution and non-communicable diseases like diabetes, cancer,
and more recently COVID-19 health outcomes. While air quality is a
global sustainability issue with varying severity and effects
across nations, there’s a need to adopt novel approaches to manage
the issue. One approach to the problem is technology. Leveraging
tech will help overcome factors that put pressure on ambient air
quality. On that note: blockchain technology and its novel use
cases holds a lead position in helping track air pollution in
real-time using data feeds from authoritative off-chain sources.
Plugin & Inclusive Growth Chain: Who they are and what they
offer Plugin is a decentralized oracle platform providing
cost-efficient solutions to smart contracts that run on the XDC
Network Ecosystem. The novel solution focuses on providing
cost-efficient solutions to users that need reliable data on their
smart contracts. And being a fork of Chainlink open-source
technology built to benefit the XDC Network Blockchain Ecosystem,
Plugin enables smart contracts to communicate seamlessly with the
outside world and store data gathered from reliable partners.
Plugin guarantees dedicated support, reliable data feeds,
thoroughly tested platform for quality, and enterprise-grade
service level agreements. On the other hand, Inclusive Growth Chain
(IGC) is an integrated blockchain, artificial intelligence, and
machine learning platform that seeks to address social and
environmental problems. Recently, the organization won the top
prize for creating a blockchain-enabled platform that aggregates
air pollution data with high accuracy and at minimal costs. The
platform also works with Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs) in
India, helping redistribute value chain gains to farmers.
Plugin—Inclusive Growth Chain Partnership Through the Plugin—IGC
partnership, the entities will work towards implementing the
“Project Pollution Check”. Given the benefits to be accrued upon
launching the project, it has been touted as a more impactful
decentralized application on the XDC network, which leverages PLI.
So, what’s “Project Pollution Check”? Pollution check is a
blockchain-enabled use case that allows air pollution tracking and
tracing in real-time. Conceptualized by IGC, the project proposes
to collect real-time data on air pollution, helping users with air
pollution-related health issues or allergies make appropriate
decisions. Worth noting, that the solution will be available to
users across the globe. In this project, the Plugin will act as an
oracle service to bridge the data (Air pollutants) from the
external world into a decentralized application. What’s more, the
air pollution tracking and tracing application will target
end-users like real estate properties provider and developers, real
estate buyers, air purifier companies, and government agencies
tasked with protecting the environment. For real estate property
providers and developers, Pollution checks will help them decide
where to construct housing that meets their client’s air quality
index (AQI) requirements. As well, this may help with pricing real
estate properties—that is, areas with lower AQIs can fetch a
premium as compared to those with significantly higher AQIs. On the
other hand, Pollution-check will help real-estate buyers
determine—in real-time— the pollutant levels in an area prior to
making purchase decisions. To illustrate, Pollution-check will help
families with kids and elderly members to avoid buying or renting
homes in areas whose air has high levels of carbon monoxide. Air
purifier companies will also leverage the solution. With accurate
data on pollution in different locations, air purifier companies
may tailor their services and offer models that are most effective
for specific regions. This will help reduce air pollution-related
issues for clients in different locations. Government agencies
tasked with safeguarding the environment can leverage
Pollution-check to pass laws on appropriate mechanisms to reduce
air pollution. For instance, government agencies may introduce
policies favoring the increase of electronic vehicles. This will
help reduce air pollution resulting from diesel and petrol-powered
engines. That said, what other areas will the Plugin and IGC
partnership touch on? Well, in addition to “project
pollution-check”, IGC and Plugin also plan to collaborate on other
solutions in the Private & Public Blockchain space. IGC will
also avail Big data, Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence
expertise on a demand basis, helping strengthen Plugin’s technology
landscape. As well, plugin seeks to onboard IGC as a masternode
operator following the MOU. This will happen after consultations
with respective network community members. While air pollution
remains a major concern around the globe, the inception of novel
technologies through the PLI-IGC partnership holds the potential to
reduce and reverse some resulting effects. For example, the
inception of “Pollution check” holds significant potential in
mitigating air pollution-related issues. By allowing real-time
checking of air pollution levels in different locations, the
solution will enable end-users like real estate property providers
and developers, real estate buyers, air purifier companies, and
government agencies to make appropriate decisions. As well, the
PLI-IGC partnership helps leverage each firm’s capabilities to
boost their respective abilities.
