Abstract

With the acceleration of urbanization, the risk of urban population exposure to environmental pollutants is increasing. Protecting public health is the top priority in the construction of smart cities. The purpose of this study is to propose a method for identifying toxicological biological indicators of human exposure in smart cities based on public health data and deep learning to achieve accurate assessment and management of exposure risks. Initially, the study used a network of sensors within the smart city infrastructure to collect environmental monitoring data, including indicators such as air quality, water quality, and soil pollution. Using public health data, a database containing information on types and concentrations of environmental pollutants has been established. Convolutional neural network was used to recognize the pattern of environmental monitoring data, identify the relationship between different indicators, and build the correlation model between health indicators and environmental indicators. Identify biological indicators associated with environmental pollution exposure through training optimization. Experimental analysis showed that the prediction accuracy of the model reached 93.45%, which could provide decision support for the government and the health sector. In the recognition of the association pattern between respiratory diseases, cardiovascular diseases and environmental exposure factors such as PM2.5 and SO2, the fitting degree between the model and the simulation value reached more than 0.90. The research design model can play a positive role in public health and provide new decision-making ideas for protecting public health.
