Andrea Pistillo, member of the AmbientaMENT project: "We want to study how some environmental exposures can affect mental health in the neighborhoods of Barcelona"

Barcelona is a city that also experiences the effects of climate change. The rise in temperature or air pollution, among other factors, have effects on citizens that are gradually becoming more and more noticeable. But until now there has been no study that analyzes these effects in detail and maps the problem in the regional city.

 

Andrea Pistillo, statistician and pre-doctoral student, is part of the AmbientaMENT group, a project that aims to explore the effect of the environment on mental health in neighborhoods. It is a project of IDIAP Jordi Gol, ISGlobal, BCNUEJ (ICTA-UAB).
