Abstract
We developed a GIS-based web-mapping system aimed at providing specialists, stakeholders and population with a simple, yet scientifically rigorous, medium to gain information about air pollution and health risk, over the city of Rome (Italy), combining a geo-spatial visualization with easy access to the time dimension and to quantitative information. The study is part of the EXPAH (Population Exposure to PAHs) LIFE+ EC project, which has the overall goal of identifying and quantifying peoples’ exposure to atmospheric Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the city of Rome, and to assess the impact on human health. The system is completely built on open source tools.
