Introduction
The Respiratory & Environmental Health Mapping portal showcases innovative web-based mapping technologies which will enhance the decision-making process in respiratory health for the province of New Brunswick. These Geographic Information System (GIS) technologies are being developed by a dedicated team of IT technicians, data analysts, and content providers within the New Brunswick Lung Association. This team works in concert with a diverse group of partners from private industry, academic researchers, provincial and federal government departments, funding agencies and volunteers.
