Predict air quality and its health impact with ML.
ML Models for Air Quality Prediction and Health Impact pairs pollution forecasting with its human consequence. You learn to build models that predict pollutants like PM2.5 and NO2 from sensor and satellite data, and — the distinctive focus — to link that pollution to health impact: exposure modelling, health-outcome association, and translating predictions into public-health risk. The course connects environmental prediction to the health effects that make it matter. You finish able to model air quality and estimate its health impact.
