Air Pollution and Climate Change
Currently, the most common way of transporting medical products, such as blood, blood products, vaccines, and medicines, is air and land transport. Using helicopters and cars to transport the needed products is expensive and generate relatively high air and noise pollution compared to the drone delivery. This article considers the problem of air pollution occurring during standard aerial and car transport of medical products, with particular emphasis on solution used in African countries. The article presents the analysis of the demand for the use of alternative forms of transport based on the statistical data published by government sites. The article also presents a proposal of novel alternative transport of blood and medical supplies that meets the requirements of safe transport of medical products, according to the Polish and European law. The most optimal form of drone construction was chosen based on literature and already existing solutions. The article describes also the functionalities of a mobile application created to ensure an easy and safe delivery process.
