How Can Epidemiologists Use Data from Particulate Matter Sensors?
Epidemiologists use data from particulate matter sensors to conduct exposure assessments, identify at-risk populations, and study the links between air quality and health outcomes. This data can be integrated with health records, geographic information systems (GIS), and demographic information to perform spatial and temporal analyses. By doing so, researchers can identify correlations and causal relationships, ultimately informing public health strategies and policy decisions.
