چکیده
This article presents the approach and current findings of the EO2HEAVEN project, in particular from the Saxony Case Study. The aim of the Case Study is the conceptual design of a Spatial Information Infrastructure for better understanding the complex relationship between ambient air quality and its influence on the human health. This includes air quality modelling and a statistical analysis of health datasets as well as the development of a service infrastructure offering access, analysis and visualization of environmental and health information.
