The goal of this project is to connect individual health measures with geographically localized sources of pollution.
Three types of data are needed: neighbourhood level pollution maps, individual health measures, and individual location coordinates.

Example: Smoke inhalation correlated with changes in heart rate, mainly as a confirming measure of the location and smoke map data.
Example: Changes in sleep quality correlated with smokier days, could be a measure that connects to changes in income the following day.
Additional columns to manually enter health measures, e.g., tumour size over time.

Detection and attribution as multiple regression: predicted variable is a health outcome, and predictors are estimated by something like a numeric process model (think global climate simulation, where the input parameters have themselves been estimated for a set simulations). - https://arxiv.org/pdf/2012.04200.pdf

Would need a city simulator that provides an API for citizens to be modeled with the right distributions.

- "Global first as British girl’s death certificate lists air pollution as a cause of death 18 December 2020, London: In what is believed to be a global first, Deputy Coroner Phillip Barlow ruled on Wednesday that Ella Adoo-Kissi-Debrah, a 9 year-old girl who lived just 25m from the South Circular in South London, died in February 2013 as a direct result of air pollution...Reading aloud his verdict, Philip Barlow said that he believed air pollution made a “material contribution to Ella’s death”. She was exposed to levels of nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter in excess of World Health Organisation guidelines. The level of air pollution she was exposed to was therefore excessive. The principal source of her exposure was traffic emissions." https://chambers.com/articles/extraordinary-landmark-inquest-rules-air-pollution-contributed-to-death-of-ella-adoo-kissi-debrah
