The outdoor air quality of any public space is closely related to the use of that same space, namely the presence/absence of motor vehicles and the presence/absence of green spaces. Indeed, such use may release polluting substances into the air, some of which may contribute to the worsening of the health of users.
The objectives of this project are, on the one hand, the identification of polluting agents in the air outside, associated with their use, which are harmful to health, and, on the other hand, the application of a generic methodology, combining multivariate data analysis techniques, with a substrate geometric, capable of generating quantitative indices that "measure" the spatial variability of air quality.
To achieve these objectives, it is proposed to carry out the project in three steps:
Step 1. Identification and characterization of parameters (variables) likely to cause harm to users' health;
Step 2. Execution of measurements of the previously identified parameters in two types of public spaces (squares, streets);
Step 3. Model adaptation, calibration, production, and validation of results for each case study.
