+name: 'Proyecto Respira: Empowering Communities with Open Air Quality Forecasts'
+description: "Project Respira is a pioneering civic technology initiative that provides air quality forecasts for the metropolitan area of Greater Asunción. This project leverages open data to empower citizens by offering not only real-time air quality predictions but also locally tailored health recommendations. By enabling informed decision-making, the project helps individuals protect their health on days when air quality is compromised. From planning outdoor activities to minimizing exposure during high pollution events, Project Respira serves as a critical tool for mitigating health risks associated with pollution through accessible information and civic education.\r\n\r\nThe system includes a user-friendly web platform and bots integrated into Telegram and X (formerly Twitter), ensuring easy access to its services. Key features include daily air quality forecasts, guidance on health protection based on pollution levels, statistics derived from a network of distributed sensors, and access to relevant research. Additionally, the project's open repositories on GitHub allow others to replicate and adapt the system to different contexts, fostering a global culture of collaboration and innovation in environmental health.\r\n\r\nBy combining open data with technology, Project Respira exemplifies the transformative power of civic tech in promoting public health and environmental awareness."
