The residents of Moldova can anytime see how polluted the area where they live is through a digital application that indicates the places containing persistent organic pollutants, Info-Prim Neo reports. The digital map was produced by the company Trimetica, which promotes modern technologies through Geographical Information Systems (GIS). The people can access the website http://www.moldovapops.md/infomanagement/ to see the pollution level in their settlements. The map placed there is based on geoinformational technology that helps organize the collected data. If the given map is overlapped with the waste map made within the recent campaign “Come on, Moldova!”,http://hai.md/harta/, there are identified the places that contain garbage and those that are polluted with organic substances. “The GIS applications, besides the possibility of viewing data, offer the decision makers instruments for analyzing the data. The tabular information that is available behind every element of the map can be used to see the settlements exposed to increased risks,” Trimetica president Eugen Hristev said in the last meeting of the Civil Society Press Club centering on the use of new information technologies in solving community problems. According to him, the special analysis instruments are used to inform the people about the areas where there are chemical pollutants and waste. The people can also find information about the volume of waste identified and collected on http://harta.trimetica.com/haimoldova/. IM Trimetrica SRL (Trimetrica) is the official representative of Environmental Systems Research Institute, California, the U.S. – a world leader in GIS software. The digital map presented in the Civil Society Press Club meeting was produced with the assistance of USAID, within the Moldova Civil Society Strengthening Program.
