A new computer program visualizes air quality and respiratory illness data. It maps geographic and time-based trends for airborne particulate matter and related health issues.
Area of Science:
Environmental Science Epidemiology Computer Science Background:
Assessing the relationship between environmental factors and public health requires robust data visualization tools. Analyzing airborne particulate matter and respiratory illness incidence involves complex datasets. Current methods for correlating environmental exposures with health outcomes can be labor-intensive. Purpose of the Study:
To develop a versatile microcomputer program for plotting geographical and temporal variations in environmental and health data. To facilitate the analysis of airborne particulate matter concentrations, including metallic and organic components. To aid in visualizing the incidence of respiratory illnesses and related epidemiological information.
