Environ is first of its kind app in the world, that educates people and brings awareness to their minds regarding the increasing pollution in their locality and consists of interactive and intriguing interfaces provided by high-performance forums and chatbots, and does fetch accurate data from APIs.
We as a team of technologists believe that the only thing worth contributing to the open-source community is by creating projects that are application-driven and also aides a social cause. We chose android, to reach mass users, and that's how the whole idea got evolved.
Java, Android Studio, Firebase, IBM Watson Conversations.
The app gives the details of the air quality of one's surrounding by providing the air quality index and its description that how hazardous it is and provides the remedial solution and a button to file a petition for clean air and also a share option to share to other people through our own forum.
