Initiative

Earth Observation and ENVironmental modelling for the mitigation of HEAlth risks

EO2HEAVEN contributed to a better understanding of the complex relationships between environmental changes and their impact on human health. The project monitored changes induced by human activities, with emphasis on atmospheric, river, lake and coastal marine pollution. EO2HEAVEN designed and developed methods and tools to correlate environmental data with exposure and health data, to support the collection and integration of data and to visualise results in their geographical context. The overall aim is to support research of human exposure and early detection of potential health endangerments.
