🚌 Els desplaçaments diaris afecten l’exposició de la població a contaminants atmosfèrics

✏ L’estudi del projecte MePreCiSa i coordinat pel BSC mostra la importància de considerar la mobilitat per avaluar l’exposició a la contaminació, sobretot en la població de zones rurals

The effect of recurrent mobility on air pollution exposure and mortality burden in Catalonia - International Journal of Health Geographics Background Air pollution exposure is a leading health risk mainly due to its detrimental respiratory and cardiovascular effects. Ambient air quality varies greatly across time and space, most anthropo...

Our new paper is out in International Journal of Health Geographics!

We use mobility data to correct the air pollution exposure of populations, accounting for the spatial distribution of their residents, and compare with residence-based estimates.
