Its objective is to assess whether high exposure to fine particulate matter (PM) pollution increases the risk of COVID-19-related deaths or hospitalizations. To this end, the project uses anonymized health data from the National Health Data System (SNDS), covering the period from 2015 to 2021. This data includes, in particular, deaths, hospitalizations, COVID-19 vaccinations, and testing, analyzed at the municipal level, by age, and by gender. The research is conducted in a secure environment, in compliance with CNIL requirements. The data is retained for 4 years, with a possible extension of 2 years, and then deleted. Data subjects have rights regarding their data (access, rectification, objection, erasure, restriction) and may contact the Data Protection Officer at the University of Montpellier or file a complaint with the CNIL.

The ART-Dev joint research unit explores the links between territories and contrasting development dynamics. The analysis of these links takes into account resource mobilization, as well as the strategies and configurations of actors that influence public policy, the economy, and the environment. ART-Dev’s scientific focus spans several themes (rural, urban, environment, energy, migration, transportation, etc.) and diverse geographic areas (North and South). One of the unit’s unique strengths is its ability to compare contexts in the North and South and contrasting situations within the same country. Its current scientific project is structured around three research axes and a cross-cutting program: Axis 1: Rural restructuring and public policy; Axis 2: Natural resources and environmental regulation; Axis 3: Interfaces, roots, and mobility in globalization Cross-cutting program: Asymmetries, public action, and the interplay of scales.
