Abstract

Air pollution and the effect it causes on populations is the environmental problem today, being one of the critical points of world governments; each year hundreds of millions of people suffer from respiratory and other diseases associated with air pollution. Within the purposes of the District Secretary of Health, is the acquisition of data from the population to carry out surveillance on environmental health and air quality, to carry out this, it is necessary to georeference this information collected in the field, in order to assess the environmental risk of each of these individuals or population under study. Taking into account the above, a web application is created that carries out the georeferencing procedure automatically, generating this process in a massive way, where it will be possible to have the positioning of each of these points, data at the territorial level such as locality, UPZ, cadastral sector and common neighborhood; additionally, a heat map will be generated that will allow to visualize the concentration zones where the georeferenced surveys are located; finally, it will be possible to identify and provide information at each georeferenced point about environmental risk (ACRE and IBOCA), and in this way establish as quickly as possible decisions that contribute to improving public health in the city.
