Original Title:
Αποτύπωση, διερεύνηση χωρικής διακύμανσης αέριων ρύπων σε περιοχές της Αττικής, επιπτώσεις αυτών στο καρδιαγγειακό σύστημα των αθλητών και προτεινόμενες λύσεις περιορισμού του φαινομένου στον αστικό ιστό
Translated title:
Data visualization, study of spatial variation of air pollutants in areas of Attica, their effects on the cardiovascular system of athletes and proposed solutions to reduce the phenomenon in the urban fabric
Summary:
The object of this thesis is to capture and investigate the spatial variation of pollutants in various areas of the Attica region and the effects that may have on the cardiovascular system of athletes.
The following study is based on a general effort to record and digitally capture the existing data of the National Center of Natural Sciences «Demokritos» as well as to search for data of the effects that air pollution can have on the health of athletes and exposure of population by region.
For achieving the above goal, it will be used ArcGIS Pro program, an Geographical Information System, for entering the data of the measurements that will be provided by the NCSR «Demokritos». This illustration will help to investigate the spatial distribution of gaseous pollutants and to draw the necessary conclusions about their course in the various areas of Attica.
Based on these results and after a literature review on the effects of pollutants on the health of athletes and the general population, it will proposed solutions regarding: a. The place where an athlete could exercise, and b. How the phenomenon of pollution in the urban fabric, could be reduced.
