CIHR · 2022 · Co-investigator
$100,000
"Application of Artificial Intelligence in Evaluation of Radon Health Risk in Urban vs Rural houses of Canada and Sweden." This interdisciplinary research will apply predictive machine learning algorithms and geospatial intelligence to assess, predict and conduct time-series (1940-2020) analyses of public health risk from exposure to indoor radon, map out the causative patterns as the functions of built structural, environmental and human behavioural factors in urban vs rural houses in Canada and Sweden and generate evidence to support a healthy housing design.
