Abstract of the project
The project aims to provide new tools through the use of satellite data for the evaluation of the concentration of atmospheric particulates in the cities of Rome, Taranto and Bari. The creation of a system based on artificial intelligence that combines high resolution and moderate resolution to generate intra-urban scale maps of atmospheric particulate concentrations (PM2.5 and PM10) and consequently evaluate the population's exposure to pollution. The innovative aspect consists in the creation of detailed intra-urban maps of PM levels on a monthly, seasonal and annual basis, filling the lack of such information in currently existing services. The data from the ARPA Puglia monitoring stations will be used for training and validation of the models. The city of Bari will be used for the calibration and validation of the model.
