Spatial analysis of air pollution from road transport within urban areas and its relation to health risks

Abstract

The study extends the traditional research in air pollution and health risks by using spatial and temporal methods in geographic information system (GIS). The geographically weighted regression (GWR) is used for estimation of air pollution (NO2, PM10) in the period 2011-2013.

The study is complemented by data about lung cancer incidence.
