Environmental conditions influence human health and interact with other factors such as DNA, lifestyle, or the social environment. Earth observations from space provide data on the most diverse manifestations of these environmental conditions and make it possible to quantify them spatially. Using two examples - the availability of open and recreational space and the spatial distribution of air pollution - this article presents the potential of Earth observations for health studies. In addition, possible applications for health-related issues are discussed. To this end, we try to outline key points for an interdisciplinary approach that meets the conceptual, data technology, and ethical challenges.
环境条件影响人类健康，并与其他因素相互作用，如DNA、生活方式或社会环境。从太空进行的地球观测提供了有关这些环境条件最多样化表现的数据，并使对其进行空间量化成为可能。本文通过两个例子——开放和休闲空间的可及性以及空气污染的空间分布——展示了地球观测在健康研究中的潜力。此外，还讨论了与健康相关问题的可能应用。为此，我们试图概述一种跨学科方法的要点，该方法应对概念、数据技术和伦理方面的挑战。
