Using Satellite Data for Air Quality and Health Applications for Latin America Challenge Poor air quality is an increasingly important issue throughout Latin America, with implications for human health around the region. In particular, urban air pollution, often from vehicle emissions, can lead to complications from exposure to particulate pollution, especially among vulnerable populations. While many governments recognize the health impacts due to air pollution, they may lack the tools or capacity to understand or mitigate poor air quality. Solution Battelle supported the SERVIR program, a joint effort by NASA and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), by creating science applications for international development through the use of Earth observations. Focusing on air qual
