Abstract:

Over the last three decades there has been increasing global concern over the public health impacts attributed to environmental pollution, in particular, the global burden of disease. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that about a quarter of the diseases facing mankind today occur due to prolonged exposure to environmental pollution. Recent reports have shown that approximately around 50,000 people dies daily due to water pollution only. The main reason behind this rapid increase in pollution is the Human greed of development and industrialization. Recent reports have shown that with this rapid rate of conservation of natural sources of energy, natural biomass sources would completely vanish from the earth in less than 20years. Clearly, Human Greed has taken over human need of development. In this blind race of industrialization, mankind has forgotten that how much it is affecting our environment and what drastic results would occur if we continue to disrespect the nature. With this rate of pollution, many severe issues such as Global Warming and depletion of ozone layer etc.

Abstract:

The materiality of pollution is increasingly embodied in humans, animals, and the living environment. Ethnographic research, especially from within the fields broadly construed as medical anthropology, environmental anthropology, disaster anthropology, and science and technology studies are all positioned to make important contributions to understanding present lived experiences in disastrous environmental contexts. This article examines points of articulation within recent research in these areas, which have much in common but are not always in conversation with one another. Research and writing collaborations, as well as shared knowledge bases between ethnographic researchers who center different aspects of the spectrum of toxics- based environmental health, are needed to better account for and address the material and lived realities of increasing pollution levels in the time of a warming climate.

Abstract:

Aims: The project is designed to investigate the effects of exposure to airborne pollution on cardiovascular health. Many studies have identified an association between exposure to elevated levels of airborne pollution and increases in morbidity and mortality associated with acute myocardial infarction, heart failures and coronary heart disease. The project investigates the occurrence of these diseases in a low pollution scenario and investigates plausible biomedical causes of the observed increases. The study investigates the composition of airborne particles in the city, as one hypothesis is that particle composition may be as important as the total mass of respired particles. The project investigates the aetiology of myocardial infarction and heart failure in the city, associated with exposure to air pollution and variations in meteorological conditions. The study aimed to identify to what degree these diseases are affected by changes in environmental conditions. Variations in the composition of the blood were investigated as a possible mediator in the association between air pollution, meteorology and MI and HF. In one study an epidemiological approach was used to investigate changes in the concentrations of blood coagulation factors. The second study used blood obtained from healthy volunteers on high pollution days and low pollution days, accounting for meteorological changes. The samples were analysed for several non-blood coagulation factors, with the capability of adversely altering MI and HF aetiology. Primary results: The study identified that no significant association is observed between exposure to airborne pollution and morbidity and mortality associated with acute myocardial infarction of heart failure. The gaseous pollution levels in the city were identified as too low to have a significant effect on cardiovascular health, however decreases in outdoor temperature were seen to have a significant detrimental effect on myocardial infarction and heart failure. However air pollution levels were observed to be significantly associated with deaths arising from respiratory disease. The composition of the collected particulate matter was identified as the primary reason of the lack of any association between airborne particulate matter and acute myocardial infarction of heart failure. Daily variations in outdoor temperature are identified as the most significant environmental parameter affecting the occurrence of morbidity and mortality associated with acute myocardial infarction of heart failure. There was no significant association between exposure to elevated levels of air pollution or decreased temperature and variations in blood coagulation factors. There was also no significant association between changes in non-coagulation blood factors and changes in meteorological and air pollution factors. Two possible explanations exist to explain these results, either air pollution levels are too low to effect blood composition, or the association between air pollution and MI and HF is not mediated through the studied parameters. Several significant associations were identified between exposure to airborne pollution and changes in non-coagulation blood parameters. These changes, including a variety of changes in white blood cells, the haematocrit and plasma viscosity, all suggest mechanisms by which exposure to airborne pollution may exacerbate myocardial infarction and heart failures. These findings indicate that exposure to airborne pollution has more than a statistical association with MI and HF. Conclusions: In the city and county of Cardiff levels of primary airborne pollutants is at a much lower level than many other study areas. As a consequence of these differences in air pollution dynamics there is a significant difference in the disease aetiology, particularly associated with MI and FIF. However even in this low pollution environment adverse health effects are noted, including elevation in deaths associated with respiratory disease. The pollution levels identified in Cardiff were associated with changes in several blood parameters, which in other studies are associated with adverse health effects, including exacerbation of MI and HF.

Abstract:

Eastern Mediterranean (EM) region experience poor air quality because it is highly influenced by local and transported pollution. For this reason, we examined the particulate pollution in Cyprus, an EU-member country located in the EM region. First, we analyzed daily PM10 (particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter less than 10 μm) data collected in an urban and background site for sixteen years (1993-2008). We investigated long term trends using a Generalized Additive Model (GAM) after controlling for day of week, month, temperature, wind speed, and relative humidity. Annual PM10 (50.4-63.8 μg/m3) exceeded the 2005 EU annual standard (40 μg/m3) every year at the urban station, and dust storms were responsible for a small fraction of the daily exceedances. However, urban PM10 levels decreased from 59.4 μg/m3 in 1993 to 49.0 μg/m3 in 2008, probably in part as a result of traffic emission control policies. We then collected PM10 and PM2.5 samples (particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter less than 2.5 μm) in the four main cities in Cyprus using Harvard Impactors, during the year of 2012. We analyzed them for mass concentration and chemical composition, and conducted a source apportionment analysis. For PM2.5, seven source types were identified including regional sulfur (>30%), traffic emissions, biomass, re-suspended soil, oil combustion, road dust, and sea salt. For PM10-2.5 (coarse particles with aerodynamic diameter between 2.5 and 10 μm) three sources were identified, which include road dust, soil, and sea salt. Last, since the mortality effect estimates for PM2.5 components and mortality vary across studies and locations, we performed a meta-regression analysis to estimate their association using city specific estimates from time-series and case-crossover studies. We found significant associations between mortality and elements from combustion sources such as traffic, biomass burning, and oil combustion. Furthermore, PM2.5 effect estimates varied across regions, and further research is needed to explore the possible factors that modify or confound their association.

Abstract:

Scientists and policy makers have become increasingly aware of the need to jointly study climate change and air pollution because of the interactions among policy measures and in the atmospheric chemistry that creates the constituents of smog and affects the lifetimes of important greenhouse gases such as methane. Tropospheric ozone and aerosols, recognized constituents of air pollution, have important effects on the radiative balance of the atmosphere. Existing methods for estimating the economic implications of environmental damage do not provide an immediate approach to assess the economic and policy interactions. Towards that end, we develop a methodology for integrating the health effects from exposure to air pollution into the MIT Emissions Prediction and Policy Analysis (EPPA) model, a computable general equilibrium economic model of the economy that has been widely used to study climate change policy. The approach incorporates market and non-market effects of air pollution on human health, and is readily applicable to other environmental damages including those from climate change. The estimate of economic damages depends, of course, on the validity of the underlying epidemiological relationships and direct estimates of the consequences of health effects such as lost work and non-work time and increased medical expenses. We apply the model to the US for the historical period 1970 to 2000, and reevaluate estimates of the benefits of US air pollution regulations originally made by the US Environmental Protection Agency. We also estimate the economic burden of uncontrolled levels of air pollution over that period. Our estimated benefits of regulation are somewhat lower than the original EPA estimates, and we trace that result to our development of a stock model of pollutant exposure that predicts that the benefits from reduced chronic air pollution exposure will only be gradually realized. As modeled, only population cohorts born under lower air pollution levels fully realize the benefits. While other assumptions about the nature of health effects of chronic exposure are possible, some version of a stock model of this type is needed to accurately estimate the timing of benefits of reduced pollution.

Abstract:

Asthma is the most common chronic disease in children and the effects of air pollution exposure on asthma and respiratory health in children have been a growing concern over recent decades. Although a number of epidemiological studies have been carried out in this field, these have produced conflicting results. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of long term exposure to nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and particulate matter (PM10) on asthma prevalence and lung function in children. To achieve this, a novel exposure model was developed and evaluated, which allowed retrospective exposure assessment of children participating in a population based birth cohort study – the Manchester Asthma and Allergy Study (MAAS). MAAS is a prospective birth cohort study comprising 1185 children specifically designed to study asthma and allergies. Clinical follow up took place at ages 3, 5, 8 and 11 years. At each follow up parents completed questionnaires on asthma diagnosis and symptoms and children underwent skin prick tests for common allergens. Children’s specific airways resistance (sRaw, at ages 3, 5, 8, 11) and forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1, at ages 5, 8, 11) were measured. At ages 5 and 11 years FEV1 was measured at baseline and after bronchodilator treatment. The exposure model developed during this study incorporated outdoor and indoor air pollution, spatio-temporal variation in air pollution and time-activity patterns of children. The model was based on the concept of microenvironmental exposure. It modelled personal exposure based on PM10 and NO2 concentrations in children’s home, school and journey microenvironments (MEs) and the length of time they spend in these MEs. Land use regression (LUR) models were used to model PM10 and NO2 concentrations in outdoor MEs. These LUR models were specifically developed for the Greater Manchester area. A novel method was used to develop the LUR models, which used the output from an air dispersion model as dependent variables in the regression analysis. Furthermore, a novel approach was used to obtain annual concentration of PM10 and NO2 from 1996 to 2010, which involved the recalibration of the LUR models for each year. A mass balance model and indoor to outdoor ratios were used to model concentrations in indoor MEs. The performance of the exposure model was evaluated through a personal monitoring study in schoolchildren attending a local secondary school. Children wore personal NO2 monitors for two consecutive days in four seasons. Parental questionnaires and time-activity diaries were used to obtain information for the exposure model and to model NO2 exposure for the same time period. The results showed good agreement between monitored and modelled NO2 concentrations (Normalised mean bias factor=-0.04). Multiple linear regression and generalised estimating equations (GEE) were used to assess the cross-sectional and longitudinal effect of modelled exposure on sRaw and FEV1 (as % predicted). Multiple logistic regression and GEE were used to assess the effect of modelled exposure on the prevalence of asthma and current wheeze.The longitudinal analyses showed significant associations between PM10 and NO2 exposure and % predicted FEV1 (PM10: B=-1.37, p=0.019; NO2: B=-0.83, p=0.003), but no association with sRaw (PM10: B=0.009, p=0.37; NO2: B=-0.007, p=0.16). The cross-sectional analyses showed no association between pollutant exposure during the summer or winter prior to age 11 and any of the lung function measures (p>0.05). Long term PM10 or NO2 exposure were not associated with asthma or current wheeze (p>0.05).This study developed and evaluated a novel air pollution exposure model for epidemiological research. The results of this study suggest a negative impact of long term exposure to NO2 and PM10 on growth in FEV1 during primary school age. However, no evidence of an association between long term exposure to NO2 and PM10 and childhood asthma was found.

Abstract:

The health impact of short-term exposure to air pollution has been the focus of much recent research, the majority of which is based on time-series studies. A time-series study uses health, pollution and meteorological data from an extended urban area. Aggregate level data is used to describe the health of the population living with the region, this is typically a daily count of the number of mortality or morbidity events. Air pollution data is obtained from a number of fixed site monitors located throughout the study region. These monitors measure background pollution levels at a number of time intervals throughout the day and a daily average is typically calculated for each site. A number of pollutants are measured including, carbon monoxide (CO); nitrogen dioxide (NO2); particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10), and; sulphur dioxide (SO2). These fixed site monitors also measure a number of meteorological covariates such as temperature, humidity and solar radiation. In this thesis I have presented extensions to the current methods which are used to estimate the association between air pollution exposure and the risks to human health. The comparisons of the efficacy of my approaches to those which are adopted by the majority of researchers, highlights some of the deficiencies of the standard approaches to modelling such data. The work presented here is centered around three specific themes, all of which focus on the air pollution component of the model. The first and second theme relate to what is used as a spatially representative measure of air pollution and allowing for uncertainty in what is an inherently unknown quantity, when estimating the associated health risks, respectively. For example the majority of air pollution and health studies only consider the health effects of a single pollutant rather than that of overall air quality. In addition to this, the single pollutant estimate is taken as the average concentration level across the network of monitors. This is unlikely to be the average concentration across the study region due to the likely non random placement of the monitoring network. To address these issues I proposed two methods for estimating a spatially representative measure of pollution. Both methods are based on hierarchical Bayesian methods, as this allows for the correct propagation of uncertainty, the first of which uses geostatistical methods and the second is a simple regression model which includes a time-varying coefficient for covariates which are fixed in space. I compared the two approaches in terms of their predictive accuracy using cross validation. The third theme considers the shape of the estimated concentration-response function between air pollution and health. Currently used modelling techniques make no constraints on such a function and can therefore produce unrealistic results, such as decreasing risks to health at high concentrations. I therefore proposed a model which imposes three constraints on the concentration-response function in order to produce a more sensible shaped curve and therefore eliminate such misinterpretations. The efficacy of this approach was assessed via a simulation study. All of the methods presented in this thesis are illustrated using data from the Greater London area.

Abstract:

Air pollution causes negative externalities on human health, especially on vulnerable groups such as children. We look at hospitalizations due to respiratory diseases for children in São Paulo Metropolitan Area (SPMA) between 2015 and 2017 as consequence of variation in particulate matter (PM 10) levels. We use wind speed as instrument for PM to deal with the endogeneity of air pollution exposure, considering that non-stationary sources of pollution are predominant in the region, which is among the ten largest metropolitan areas in the world. The results show that air pollution positively affects hospitalizations due to all respiratory, pneumonia and asthma in the short term for children between one and five years old. For infant, we only find impact on influenza admission. Additional results suggest the Brazilian public health system is absorbing the increase in hospitalization due to this health shock. Furthermore, delay to visit the hospital may be underestimating our results. We also run a multi-pollutant model, including ozone (O3) as pollutant and solar radiation as instrument. Our coefficients of PM 10 are robust to this specification and we find no impact of O3 on health.
A poluição do ar causa externalidade negativa na saúde humana, especialmente em grupos vulneráveis como crianças. Olhamos para internações por doenças respiratórias em crianças na Região Metropolitana de São Paulo (RMSP) entre 2015 e 2017, em consequência de variações nos níveis de material particulado (MP 10). Usamos a velocidade do vento como instrumento para MP, a fim de lidar com a endogeneidade da exposição à poluição, considerando que as fontes não estacionárias são predominantes na RMSP, que está entre as dez maiores regiões metropolitanas no mundo. Os resultados mostram que a poluição do ar afeta positivamente internações por todas as doenças respiratórias, pneumonia e asma no curto prazo para crianças entre um e cinco anos. Para bebês, apenas encontramos impacto nas internações por influenza. Resultados adicionais sugerem que o sistema público de saúde brasileiro está absorvendo o aumento de hospitalizações devido a esse choque de saúde. Também rodamos um modelo com múltiplos poluentes, adicionando ozônio (O3) como poluente e radiação solar como instrumento. Os coeficientes de MP 10 são robustos a essa especificação e não encontramos impacto de O3 na saúde.

Abstract:

The findings of this study can inform and enable policymakers in improving occupational air pollution, including addressing air pollution, pollution sources and other related issues in the garment manufacturing sector in Cambodia. Such interventions will help to uphold the health of workers as a human right, ensure safe workplaces, and also be beneficial for the country’s economic growth, as a healthy workforce is more productive. While the garment sector serves as Cambodia’s economic backbone and creates much-needed jobs, it is also a highly polluting industry, alongside being regularly implicated for not upholding labour rights. The sector emits pollutants to air from intensive energy use, solid and hazardous waste emissions, noise pollution and wastewater pollution discharge. Despite this, the sector’s environmental impacts in Cambodia, particularly in relation to air pollution, are not well known, and this gap was highlighted in the development of Cambodia’s 2021 Clean Air Plan. Aiming to fill this gap, in cooperation with SEI, the Air Quality and Noise Management Department of the General Directorate of Environmental Protection of Cambodia’s Ministry of Environment conducted a research project to improve understanding of air pollutant emissions from the textile industry and the health impacts on workers in Cambodia’s garment industry. The study drew on in-depth interviews with 323 garment factory workers across 16 factories, interviews with 16 factory owners, and quantitative data to better understand all interviewees’ experiences with occupational air pollution. While the research documented any symptoms related to air pollution, it did not employ medical research to assess the workers’ health status, nor did it attempt to investigate the cost or impact of air pollution on factory production. This policy briefing draws on a longer report prepared by the Ministry of Environment (Chandath, H., Chhay Por, I., Sokyimeng, S., Dana, S., Raksmey, Y. 2023.

Abstract:

This rapid literature review explores the interactions between climate change and air pollution, with a focus on human health impacts. In particular, the report explores potential synergies in tackling climate change and air pollution together. The impacts and implications of the transition from a carbon-intensive economy upon air quality and consequently human health are examined. Discussing climate change without air pollution can lead to risks. For example, strategies that focus on electrification and transition to renewable energy achieve maximum health and air quality benefits compared to strategies that focus mainly on combustible renewable fuels (biofuel and biomass) with some electrification. Addressing climate change necessitates a shift towards a new low carbon era. This involves stringent and innovative changes in behaviour, technology, and policy. There are distinct benefits of considering climate change and air pollution together. Many of the processes that cause climate change also cause air pollution, and hence reductions in these processes will generate cleaner air and less global warming. Politically, the consideration of the two issues in tandem can be beneficial because of the time-inconsistency problems of climate change. Air pollution improvements can offer politicians victories, on a useful timescale, to help in their aims of reversing climate change. By coupling air pollution and air pollution agendas together, it will increase the media and political attention both environmental causes receive. Policies should involve the integration of climate change, air quality, and health benefits to create win-win situations. The success of the strategies requires financial and technical capacity building, commitment, transparency, and multidisciplinary collaboration, including governance stakeholders at multiple levels, in both a top-down and bottom-up manner.
