Impact/Purpose:
Air pollution and resulting public health outcomes continue to dominate growing estimates of mortality and morbidity associated with environmental risks to communities and society. This GEO priority topic will seek to further develop and implement integration of air quality monitoring, related estimation and modeling protocols optimizing both remote sensing and in-situ platforms, including small sensors with the goal of providing improved information for use in public health assessment tools. There will be an initial focus on the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), Global Burden of Disease (GBD) estimates, in particular those related to the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals, with the goal of providing results of sufficient granularity at a scale useful to citizens, communities and decision makers.
