Presentation of the AIRCOV Project
TheAIRCOVproject (Impact of Fine Particles on COVID-19: An Economic Approach) is a research initiative led by the University of Montpellier. 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 theNational Health Data System (SNDS), covering the period from 2015 to 2021. This data includes, in particular, deaths, hospitalizations, vaccinations, and COVID-19 testing, analyzed at the municipal level, by age, and by gender.
The research is conducted in a secure environment that complies with CNIL requirements. The data is retained for four years, with a possible extension of two years, and then deleted.
Data subjects have certain rights regarding their data (access, correction, objection, erasure, restriction) and may contact the University of Montpellier’s Data Protection Officer or file a complaint with the CNIL.
