环境监测是环境保护和污染控制的基础和依据。综合运用多种监测技术不断提高环境监测的精确度和有效性,并进一步探讨环境污染与人群健康之间的联系,具有重要意义。卫星遥感技术在大气环境监测中具有范围广、速度快、成本低且便于进行长期动态监测等优点。该文简要说明了遥感技术应用于大气环境监测的原理,从不同大气污染物的角度介绍了近年来遥感技术在国内外大气污染监测与人群健康关系中的应用进展,并从反演和预测污染物浓度的角度指出存在的不足之处,为进一步推进和改善遥感技术在大气环境监测和大气污染流行病学研究中的应用提出了建议。
Environmental monitoring is the foundation and basis of environmental protection and pollution control. It is significant to make comprehensive use of various monitoring techniques and improve their accuracy and validity in order to explore the relationship between environmental pollution and human health. The application of satellite remote sensing technology in atmosphere pollutant monitoring has the advantages of wide range, high frequency, low cost and convenience to carry out long-term and dynamic monitoring. This paper described the physical principles of remote sensing technology application, introduced the progress of application of remote sensing technology in atmosphere monitoring and human health researches in recent years from the perspective of different ambient pollutants, pointed out the existing inadequacies of their inversion and prediction, and gave some recommendations for further promoting and improving the application of remote sensing technology in atmospheric monitoring and air pollution epidemiologic studies.
