The resulting data have been incorporated into a study that includes detailed maps of air-quality trends for 2023 and 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Victoria Lerma, a researcher at the ITACA Institute of the Universitat Polit\u00e8cnica de Val\u00e8ncia (UPV) and project coordinator, highlights that \u201c<strong>the results make it possible to identify precisely the areas where NO\u2082 levels approach or exceed reference values, <\/strong>thereby becoming a key tool for urban and public-health planning\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The consortium is also in the final phase of requesting and collecting health data and sociodemographic variables from the Regional Ministry of Health. This information will enable an analysis of the <strong>relationship between exposure to pollutants such as NO\u2082 and PM\u2082.\u2085 and their impact on the use of healthcare services and the incidence of respiratory diseases\u00bb.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.itaca.upv.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Foto_reunion_-1024x527.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15748\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Meeting held on 27th November at ITACA<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Next steps: a public consultation website with an interactive viewer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PREDATICS has completed the development of a <strong>natural-language artificial-intelligence tool that will allow citizens to consult air-quality information and access knowledge generated from the project\u2019s data<\/strong>. This solution will be integrated with the predictive model currently under development, which is being trained using seven years of satellite-derived historical estimates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The forthcoming public web application, now at an advanced stage, will include an interactive viewer and will be expanded to incorporate forecasts and high-resolution pollution maps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWith these advances, PREDATICS is consolidating <strong>its position as a strategic initiative to strengthen environmental monitoring, <\/strong>support public-health decision-making, and bring reliable, accessible information closer to citizens\u201d, the team concludes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project holds regular meetings and outreach activities, including the annual consortium meeting held on 27 November at the ITACA Institute facilities in the Polytechnic City of Innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n&nbsp;\n<br><br>\n<hr>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><sub><code>Noticia elaborada por ITACA FORWARD, financiada por
