Presentation of the AIRCOV project
TheAIRCOVproject (Impact of Fine Particles on COVID-19: an economic approach) is a research project conducted by the University of Montpellier. Its objective is to assess whether high exposure to fine particle pollution (PM) increases the risk of death or hospitalization related to COVID-19.
To this end, the project uses anonymized health data from theNational Health Data System (SNDS), covering the period from 2015 to 2021. This data includes deaths, hospitalizations, vaccinations, and COVID-19 screenings, analyzed at the municipal level, by age and gender.
The research is conducted in a secure environment that complies with CNIL requirements. The data is stored for four years, with a possible two-year extension, and then deleted.
The individuals concerned have rights over their data (access, rectification, opposition, erasure, restriction) and may contact the data protection officer at the University of Montpellier or refer the matter to the CNIL in the event of a complaint.
