UFAir

UFAir is a web app that relates and shows connections between different datasets involving pollutent gases presents in the atmosphere and diseases as well. The interface was designed to maximize accessibility and confort, so anyone can manipulate with ease difficult data analysis, such as heat maps and correlation matrices.

Why is it important?

Researches have shown that air pollution causes millions of deaths every year. Our actions in everyday life affects the atmosphere's composition locally and globally, but most of the time this relationship isn't clear which fogs the big picture. Population's awareness of these factors are essential in order to prevent the situation from getting worse.

How does it work?

The site can be accessed from any browser at the link https://ufair.herokuapp.com/. In the plataform the user can choose which parameters to compare (Pollutent gases, diseases, COVID-19 cases, etc), and also one of the following visualizations:

• Bubble map
• Heat map
• Correlation matrix

Then, it's possible to see how these parameters and analisys changes over the years, controling de time of observation using the timeline presented at the bottom of the page. As part of our future plans, this timeline also can be set to future days, in which the plataform will calculate possible outcomes for the current situation.

What do we hope?

We hope that this tool succeds in helping people to understand how the Earth's atmosphere is changing and in which way does our day-to-day lifes are influencing this. With awareness and a better comprehension of these phenomena, we can hope for a more sustainable and healthier future.
