environmental iot "vasp": environmental sensing system using business vehicle
TRANSCRIPT
Environmental IoT
project “VasP”
LET’S AVOID AIR POLLUTION FOR YOUR HEALTH
we can do it with “VasP”
VALUE OF “MICRO ENVIRONMENTAL
DATA”
imagine…
You’re plaining to play outside with your children in holiday
DANGER!DANGER!
DANGER!
DANGER!
Then, you find the air monitoring stations show like this …
What will you do?Are you staying at home? Are you going outside without
any care…?
PLEASE REMEMBER, “AIR POLLUTION CAN KILL PEOPLE”
1.6 millionpeople per year
died by Air Pollution in China17% of whole death
how about in United States?• 300,000/year : Obesity related deaths
• 101,000/year : Deaths due to lack of health care
• 88,000/year : Air pollution related deaths (reported by US EPA)
• 16,500/year : murders
• 4,300/year : pedestrians killed by automobiles
5% of whole death Is it small? or big?
+27% +10ppb“Lung cancer risk” per “SO2 density”
reported by Japanese Ministry of the Environment in 2008researched over 10 year in 3 capital cities
*10 ppb = 0.0000001%
Yearly average of PM2.5：12μg/m3 → 13μg/m3
Number of Asthma patients：46,000 → 140,000
Expectation reported by US EPA
We already had data accumulation…Why such less awareness?
↓Shortage of the data resolution
We don’t know actual situation “right here, right there”
DISTRIBUTION OF CURRENT MONITORING STATIONS
If the place taking over 1 hour driving from San Francisco City is 30% less of lung cancer risk …. Will you go there with your children just for playing at the park?
high-resolution mappingproduced by VasP
max 4.7ppm = 4700ppb difference→ lung cancer risk about x100
not 100% up , 100 times!
This is the value of “micro environmental information”

near 101
Now, you can choose where you play!
*less than 1 mile between 2 places
what is “VasP”<MISSION>
gather and provide“micro environmental information”
all over the Earth

J-POP SUMMIT REVIEW8th - 9th Aug. ’15
@Fort Mason Center in San Francisco
EXHIBITION
gathered CO, CO2, NO2, Ozone, SO2, temperature, humidity, pressure, noise,
UV, ambient light by bicyclesmapped each data on web application
LRI = LIVING RISK INDEXour original index evaluating air pollution level connected with
death and disease risk
we knew mission area is better than market for living, but it’s shown as difference of “living risk”…the behavior of consumers could be changed

MAJOR FEEDBACKS
• Recommendation to measure PM2.5 and radiation (and pollen)
• Lower awareness of environmental issues in SF (where is the best place?)
• Correlations between multiple factors might make next innovation (nobody tried)

(APPENDIX)EXAMPLE OF TARGET MATERIALS• air pollution
• CO, CO2, NO2, O3, SO2, toluene, methan, N2O, benzene, etc.
• climate
• temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, UV, ambient light, etc.
• critical risks
• PM2.5, radiation, etc.
• smell and living comfortability
• ammonia, H2S, sound noise, etc.
