Detailed Project Description
2Breath is an app with 4 sections:
-Home: It presents the health risks related to air pollution in the location of the User
-Game: A map based game will educate the User to responsible individual behavior and enhance the in-app time
-Learn: Read pollution related news and lectures and useful suggestion to reduce the individual impact on urban smog
-Map: In the map section, satellite and ground collected data provided by NASA and ESA are reported in a simple to access way, with simple explanation to extend the population target as much as possible
Adds in-app will provide revenues that will be used to maintain the App and raise funds for independent research on industries air pollution and health diseases correlation.

Space Agency Data
MODIS and VIIRS instrument data (various mission)
TEMPO mission data
CALIPSO mission data
TROPOMI instrument data (Sentinel-5P)
in the covered regions the data has been validated by ground measurements.
Hackathon Journey
We learned that is always possible to be innovative in our specific ways. There is no just one way to get the things done, and explore and understand different possibilities is a required skill for a dream-to-reality individual.
We choose the Space for Change challenge due to the strong desire to shape the world of tomorrow as an equal and democratic one.
The biggest challenge for us was to develop an App that can be intuitive and educational as the same time.
Hard work and collective thinking help us to overcome most of the challenges.
