Speaking of women using technology to finding innovative solutions...
meet Tanya Beri a young woman from London who is developing an App able to notify users which Tube stations have the highest levels of air pollution.

The London Tube is used by up to five million people per day, but almost all of them are breathing in at least two times the amount of harmful particles deemed acceptable by WHO, and seven times as much if they are on the Central line.

Through the app, users will be able to see which Tube stops have the worst pollution and then choose a different route that has less. This particularly important for travelers with lungs conditions.

For reference, nearly 40,000 deaths per year across the UK are thought to be linked to long-term air pollution which is a major issue globally.
