Remarks on Ambient Air Pollution and Health Outcomes

Abstract: Background. Ambient air pollution is a recognized risk factor for multiple health conditions. For some health problems, the impact of air pollution is particularly evident to the patients in a specific age range. Nonsimultaneous exposures to two or more air pollutants may have different relationships with health outcomes than do simultaneous exposures. Methods. Case-crossover technique was used to analyze data on emergency department (ED) visits for ischemic heart disease (IHD), epistaxis, and upper respiratory infection (URI). Conditional logistic regression models were used to estimate odds ratios and their 95% confidence intervals corresponding to an increase in an interquartile range of air pollutant concentrations. Results. The results for IHD show that for older patients (age 60

Distribution of Air Pollutant Concentration in Hami and Its Relationship to Meteorological factors

Abstract: Based on the environmental monitoring data and meteorological observation data obtained from environmental monitoring station and meteorological observation station from 2002 to 2008 in Hami,the pollution distribution characteristics and the reasons for pollution were analyzedThe result showed that the principal effect factor of air environment in Hami is respirable particulate matter,which is the chief pollutant of Hami,and air pollution is the most serious in winter and Mar-Apr,the most trivial in summer;the primary types of air pollution are soot and windblown sand;the chief pollutant concentration is closely related to meteorological factors such as daily temperature range,radiation,wind,relative humidity and visibility etc,the more the daily temperature range and daily net terrestrial radiation,together with the more visibility,the better the pollutant diffusion and dilution,and the air quality becomes better

Transport emissions and savings in health costs

Abstract: The paper aims to provide the basis for an estimation equation and will focus on the relation between transport emissions and air quality in an urban environment. This is directly related to the fact that most health impacts are related to local air quality levels. The aim of the paper is to create an understanding of the factors that play a role in the causal relation between transport emissions and health effects and provides approximations from existing studies that can be used to assess these health impacts and related costs. The paper focuses on the translation of air pollution levels into health impacts and health costs. The overall structure of the paper follows the two key steps and elaborates on the inherent challenges: (1) identify and measure the health effects of air pollution, and (2) to estimate the costs of the health effects. The paper is divided into four chapters: chapter one is introduction- outlining the goals and background to the project; chapter two gives impacts of air pollution from transport on health; chapter three presents valuation of health impacts- reviews the literature on how to value the impacts on health associated with air pollution; and chapter four gives guidelines for calculating the health effects of air pollution from traffic.
