Full textThe main objective of this thesis was to increase knowledge on the respiratory effects of air pollution in the elderly where few data are available. Specific objectives were: (1) To study the relationship between proximity air pollution and respiratory health in elderly (2) To study the relationship between indoor air pollution measured objectively (in French households and in European nursing homes) on respiratory health of elderly (3) to explore the hypothesis of higher susceptibility of the elderly to the effects of outdoor and indoor air pollution. Data from three epidemiological studies based on samples of a general population were used: the three cities study (3C) in the investigation of the effects of outdoor air pollution, the campaign of the French Observatory for Indoor Air Quality (OQAI) and "GERiatric study In Europe on health effects of air quality in nursing homes"(GERIE) to investigate effects of indoor air pollution. Our results are consistent with previous data and suggest that exposure to air pollution (outdoors and indoors), even at lower concentrations, could be significantly related to high prevalence of respiratory health outcomes among elderly more specifically symptoms suggestive of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) such as breathlessness, dyspnea, chronic cough and phlegm, and wheezes suggestive of asthma. The most consistent results were obtained for breathlessness and dyspnea. Some associations were more pronounced in older subjects, this support the hypothesis of greater susceptibility of elderly regarding exposure to air pollution

Full textInternational studies show that air pollution has adverse effects on health. In Lebanon, air pollutants exceed the limits recommended by WHO and laws barely exist. This thesis attempts to study the effects of exposure to air pollutants on respiratory, cardiovascular and skin diseases in Beirut using the methodology of time series analysis.To estimate the health effects of air pollution in Beirut, we mainly used data from emergency registers of seven hospitals as well as data from the air quality monitoring network in Beirut for a period of eighteen months. Regression analysis taking into consideration pollution and health indicators and other confounding factors allowed us to demonstrate a significant relationship between admissions for respiratory, cardiovascular and skin diseases and the increased levels of air pollutants. The analysis conducted in children and elderly groups apart have shown that there is a significant relationship, same day, between emergency admissions for respiratory causes and the increase in particles concentrations of 10μg.m-3. However, this significant association exists in adults group but for a delay of six to seven days. The relationship between increasing levels of air pollution and emergency admissions for cardiovascular causes was barely significant. Beside strong association was found between air pollutants and emergency admissions for skin diseases. In conclusion, our results proved the effect of air pollution on health in Beirut especially among vulnerable groups (children and elderly groups) and stressed the need to conduct additional studies on this subject

Full textIt is accepted that there is an health effect of actual levels of air pollution in industrialized countries on but some questions subsist on identification of susceptible subgroups. Based on a group of elderly people has been studied in this thesis. We have confirmed from Program PSAS-9, relationship between daily mortality and daily air pollution levels. Compared to all age population, elderly subjects showed a higher significant association between daily mortality and air pollution. We have investigated of individual factors of susceptibility among elderly in PAQUID cohort. We have observed that women and subjects living alone were more sensitive to air pollution. The association between chronic exposure to air pollution and long term mortality has been studied on a 25 year period in PAARC survey. Whatever age of subjects, we did not find a significant relationship. In conclusion, this work demonstrates a greater effect of air pollution among subjects ager 65 and over, especially in women and people who live alone. Identification of such factors appears useful to target preventing actions

Full textMany pollutants are declining throughout the industrialized world. However, exposure to air pollution, even at the levels commonly achieved nowadays in European countries, still leads to adverse health effects. In this context, there has been increasing global concern over the public health impacts attributed to environmental pollution. The thesis aims to examine health impacts linked to environmental pollution by sheding light on their macroeconomic consequences. The first objective of the thesis is to explore empirically the relations between socio-economic status, environmental exposures and health outcomes. Through econometric analysis, we study the total mortality rate in relation to socioeconomic status and air pollution for the French department, and the effect of energy production on new born health using a recent strike that affected oil refineries in France as a natural experiment. Finally, the last part of the thesis tries to draw inferences about individuals' valuations of risk by combining estimates of the effect of air pollution on bath property values and hospital respiratory admissions for respiratory causes

Full textIn urban areas, atmospheric pollution represents a major threat to human health. The accurate characterization of this threat relies centrally on the quality of exposure assessment. It also requires assessment of other factors sharing the same sources and also possibly impacting health, such as noise. Fine-scale exposure assessment of air pollution levels may allow identifying spatial contrasts. Such spatial variations may lead to social differences in the distribution of the health impact of these pollutants.The general aims of the PhD were: 1. To study the possibility to model ultrafine particles distribution in urban areas and assess the correlation of ultrafine particles levels with road traffic noise; 2. To assess the risk incurred by air pollution exposure with a fine-scale modelling approach and investigate the potential socio-economic disparities in health burden induced by particulate matter; 3. To investigate the health benefits expected from hypothetical scenarios of reduction of air pollution levels at the urban scale.The first aim relies on Tri-tabs project, conducted in three European cities (Basel, Girona, Grenoble). Measurements during 20 minutes of outdoor noise and traffic, but not of UFP, were strongly reproducible over durations of a couple of days or months. In these areas, on the short-term, noise levels and UFP concentrations exhibited relatively moderate correlations, which may allow adjustment for mutual confounding in epidemiological studies, thus allowing to disentangle their possible short-term health effects.The second aim introduces health effects, and focuses on the longer term. Risk assessment studies often ignore within-city spatial variations of air pollutants. In Grenoble and Lyon areas (0.4 and 1.2 million inhabitants, respectively) in 2012, PM2.5 exposure was estimated on a 10×10 m grid by coupling a dispersion model to fine-scale data on population density. Outcomes were mortality, lung cancer and term low birth weight incidences. The numbers of cases attributable to air pollution were estimated overall and stratifying areas according to the European Deprivation Index, a measure of social deprivation. Estimations were repeated assuming spatial homogeneity of air pollutants within city. The proportion of cases attributable to air pollution was in the 3-8% range for mortality and 9–43% range for term low birth weight. In Grenoble, 6.8% (95% CI: 3.1–10.1%) of incident lung cancer cases were attributable to air pollution. The impact was underestimated by 8 to 20% when background monitoring stations were used to assess exposure, compared to fine-scale dispersion modeling. Health impact was highest in neighborhoods with intermediate to higher social deprivation.Several countries across Europe have implemented air pollution regulation policies, or low emission zones, France being an exception. We estimated the health impact of air pollution under different scenarios of reduction of fine particulate matter concentrations. Scenarios targeting a reduction in the PM2.5 annual averages by 5% led to a 10% decrease of the health burden, while actions aiming at only reducing the exposure of the population exposed above the 90th percentile did not yield a significant reduction of the health burden (around 1%).In conclusion, we have shown that short-term measurements cannot be used to model ultrafine particles levels in urban areas; we were among the first to rely on a fine-scale exposure model for estimating the health impact of air pollution, and quantify its impact on term low birth weight. Our estimations showed that background air quality monitoring stations used classically in France for health impact assessment studies tend to underestimate exposure, compared to a spatially-resolved dispersion model. We have provided an estimate of the air pollution decrease required to obtain a significant reduction of the health impact of air pollutants in urban areas
Ben, Romdhane Safa. "Effets du climat et de la pollution de l'air sur la santé respiratoire à Tunis." Thesis, Sorbonne Paris Cité, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017USPCC027/document.
Full textThe Greater metropolitan area of Tunis, often referred to as Grand Tunis or Tunis, presents a vulnerability to air pollution due to the high concentrations of population and the infrastructures characterizing its territory. Ozone (O3) and particles (PM10) often exceed the Tunisian thresholds for these pollutants. As for the international standards set by the WHO (world health organization), they have not been met infrequently.The respiratory tract is a preferred route of exposure to aggressions related to the environment. Many lung diseases are directly linked to inhalation of pollutants in the atmosphere. The influences of climate mechanisms on respiratory health are also very extensive, including extreme weather events, also called weather paroxysms.The main objective of this thesis was to characterize the impact of environmental factors, climate and atmospheric pollutants on respiratory health in Grand Tunis. We have chosen to quantify this relationship from the biometeorological indicators and absolute thresholds of meteorological stress, specific Tunisian climate, and air quality to predict episodes at risk for respiratory health and thresholds of weather variables and air quality resulting in excess hospital admissions for respiratory causes. And this from the climate extremes of the parameters affecting the respiratory health : temperature, relative humidity and maximum wind speed. We, too, set realistic standards for air quality, relative to O3 and PM10, identifying critical thresholds excess hospitalizations in Grand Tunis and can be applied throughout the country. Given the effect of some climatic parameters on the dispersion of pollutants in the atmosphere, we also studied the relationship between climatic parameters and pollutants of O3 and PM10. The results of this study reveal that, throughout the year, Tunisians are confronted with at least an environmental risk : photochemical pollution and heat waves, which are very responsive during the hot season ; during the cold season, it is the risk of cold and particulate pollution; and during the off-season, biological pollution, together with pollen, is more at risk. However, short-term exposure to these risks, the worsening of the respiratory illness or irritation of the respiratory system is real. This study showed that the development and worsening of respiratory diseases appear to result from a complex interplay of individual and environmental factors. They are mainly in relation to time, air quality and atopy. The importance of these factors varies the respective disease. Moreover, the low socioeconomic status of the family increases the likelihood of being exposed to more of these risk factors. Added to this are behavioral factors such as alcohol, active and passive smoking

Full textThe goal of this thesis is to improve the design of observational studies on the acute health effects of air pollution.In the first chapter jointly written with Anna Alari and Tarik Benmarhnia, we advocate using matching procedures to enhance the design stage of studies exploiting changes in wind directions as instrumental variables. We show that observed confounders are imbalanced across wind directions and that the common support of the data is small. An outcome regression analysis might therefore suffer from interpolation and extrapolation biases. Using a sensitivity analysis, we also provide quantitative evidence that the estimated effects of wind directions on air pollutant concentrations seem robust to the presence of hidden bias. Our approach could be relevant for similar strategies based on binary instruments such as thermal inversions or public transport strikes.In the second chapter co-authored with Marion Leroutier and Marie-Abèle Bind, we study the impact of cruise traffic on air pollution in Marseille. With a pair-matching algorithm designed for time series data, we create hypothetical randomized experiments and estimate the change in air pollution caused by a short-term increase in cruise traffic. We also rely on randomization-inference—a mode of inference which is not based on large-sample approximation and is distribution-free—to compute confidence intervals. We find that cruise vessels’ arrivals increase city-level concentrations of nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter. Our results suggest that well-designed hypothetical randomized experiments provide a principled approach to better understand the negative externalities of maritime traffic.In the third chapter, Vincent Bagilet and I explain that the combination of publication bias for statistically significant results and low statistical power could lead to inflated estimates on the short-term health effects of air pollution. We first gather a unique corpus of estimates and standard errors of all available articles found in the standard epidemiology and economics literatures. Using statistical power calculations, we show that at least half of the literature could have a power below 80% and produce estimates that are two times too large. We then run simulations based on real data to identify which parameters of research designs affect statistical power. We find that the number of exogenous shocks and cases of a health outcome are key drivers of power. These results matter since many studies exploit rare exogenous shocks and focus on subgroups such as children and the elderly. At the end of the paper, we provide several recommendations to take into account this highly important but overlooked issue.The fourth chapter is an extension and generalization of the third chapter. To avoid confounding, quasi-experimental studies focus on specific sources of treatment variation. This could lead to a reduction in statistical power. Yet, published estimates can overestimate true effects sizes when power is low. Using fake data simulations, Vincent Bagilet and I show that for all causal inference methods, there could be a trade-off between confounding and exaggerating true effect sizes due to a loss in power. We discuss how power calculations and sensitivity analysis could help take this trade-off into account

Full textMultiple sclerosis (MS) is a neuro-inflammatory disease of the central nervous system (CNS). Causes are multifactorial enrolling both genetic predisposition and influence of environmental factors. In 85% of cases, patients experience relapse corresponding to the occurrence of neurologic signs, followed by a phase of partial or total remission. Several studies put forth the hypothesis that relapses rate varies across season, mainly occurring during spring and summer. This temporal fluctuation raised the question of season-dependent parameters influence such as sunlight exposure and vitamin D, melatonin level or ambient air pollution. Considering this variation of air pollution, we explored the short-term impact of fine particles (PM10), benzene (C6H6), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), carbon monoxide (CO) and ground-level ozone (O3), on the risk of relapse triggering, separately for "cold" (i.e., October-March) and "hot" (April-September) season. This work has drawn from data of patients provided by the alSacEP network. We included 424 patients affected with remitting MS onset who experienced 1,783 relapses over the 2000-2009 period. Daily level of air pollution was modeled through ADMS-Urban software at the census block scale of the Strasbourg metropolitan area (AASQA ATMO Grand Est). Furthermore, an individual survey was conducted among all the patients (PT) in order to collect individual socioeconomic (SES) and lifestyle features. Finally, the census block SES position was estimated using a composite deprivation index - created from the INSEE census data. A short-term (3 days preceding the relapse) seasonal adverse effect was observed in PT, in particular during exposure to O3 in "hot" season and PM10 and NO2 in "cold" season. Results also suggest that the SES context might exacerbate these associations, in particular among patients who were living in deprived neighborhood with exposure to PM10, NO2, C6H6 and CO ("cold) and those who were living in most well-of and deprived places with exposure to O3 ("hot"). Finally, we observed among Ps that low education level, average family income, smoking and lack of physical activity are more associated with the risk of relapse triggering when patients were exposed to air pollution. This work shows the need to investigate environmental exposure such as air pollution along the SEP course using a holistic approach integrating individual and contextual factors

Full textCette étude a été conduite dans la Communauté Urbaine de Strasbourg (CUS, Bas-Rhin) à l'échelle du quartier de résidence (IRIS). Les infarctus du myocarde survenus parmi la population âgée de 35 à 74 ans entre le 1er janvier 2000 et le 31 décembre 2003 (n = 1193) ont été recueillis auprès du registre bas-rhinois des cardiopathies ischémiques. Les concentrations horaires de pollution atmosphérique (NO2, PM10, O3 et CO) ont été modélisées par IRIS à l'aide du modèle ADMS Urban. Le niveau socio-économique des IRIS a été estimé à l'aide d'un indice de défaveur construit par analyse en composantes principales à partir des données du recensement.
Nous avons tout d'abord cherché à évaluer le degré d'injustice environnementale qui prévalait sur notre zone d'étude afin de vérifier l'hypothèse d'un différentiel d'exposition à la pollution atmosphérique selon le niveau socio-économique des IRIS. Notre analyse de régression spatiale a démontré l'existence d'inégalités socio-économiques dans l'exposition à la pollution atmosphérique ; les quartiers de défaveur moyenne, localisés aux abords des principales infrastructures routières entourant le centre urbain, étaient les plus exposés à la pollution liée au trafic.
Nous nous sommes ensuite intéressés à examiner l'association entre le niveau socio-économique des IRIS et la survenue de l'infarctus du myocarde afin de vérifier l'hypothèse d'inégalités sociales de santé sur notre zone d'étude. Notre analyse bayésienne a montré l'existence de forts gradients socio-économiques du risque d'infarctus du myocarde chez les hommes et les femmes et mis en exergue une vulnérabilité particulière des femmes vivant dans les quartiers les plus défavorisés.
Nous avons finalement exploré la contribution de la pollution atmosphérique aux inégalités sociales de santé en examinant si le niveau socio-économique des IRIS modifiait les effets de la pollution atmosphérique sur le risque d'infarctus du myocarde. Notre analyse cas-croisés a révélé un effet plus élevé de la pollution particulaire chez les individus vivant dans les quartiers défavorisés, en particulier les femmes âgées de 55 à 74 ans. Ces résultats, au vu de ceux précédemment rapportés, semblent s'expliquer davantage par un différentiel de sensibilité que par un différentiel d'exposition. La recherche des mécanismes responsables de cette sensibilité exacerbée nécessite d'être poursuivie dans de futurs travaux afin que des actions de santé publique efficaces puissent être mises en œuvre pour protéger ces populations vulnérables.

Full textThis thesis is in line with the scientific objectives of the DACCIWA-WP2 program. It is our responsibility to establish a link between emissions, air pollution and health impacts in terms of inflammation of the respiratory system for urban combustion sources, typical of West Africa: traffic, domestic fires and waste burning in Abidjan (Côte d'Ivoire) and Cotonou (Benin) during the dry and wet seasons 2015-2017. Our results show that the particulate concentrations observed at all sites far exceed the recommendations of WHO. The site influenced by domestic fires is the most polluted site, dominated by a significant fraction of ultrafine (UF) and fine (F) particles. The comparison of traffic sites shows that the average concentrations for each size class are twice higher in Cotonou than in Abidjan. The physicochemical characterization of these particles (organic carbon, elemental carbon, soluble organic carbon, ions, dust, trace elements) underlines that organic carbon and dust are the two most important contributors for Fand UF particles with more organic carbon in Abidjan and dust in Cotonou respectively. Parallel biological studies were conducted to characterize the pro-inflammatory response induced by particles collected for each site quantifying the release of the IL-6cytokines by human bronchial epithelial cells. As a result, particles from the domestic fire site are the most pro-inflammatory particles whatever the season, while the fine and ultra-fine fractions of particles from the two traffic sites cause significant comparable effects for each season, with the Cotonou site distinguishing itself by the reactivity of its coarse fraction, linked to the presence of dust. The F and UF particles of the combustion sources therefore seem to have a significant impact. This is confirmed by the crossed analysis between physicochemical and toxicological data, which shows that the carbonaceous aerosol component of the aerosol (EC, OC, and WSOC) is best correlated with the IL-6 biomarker. This result allows us to draw up regional maps of the inflammatory impact linked to carbonaceous particles and their emission sources. These studies will eventually lead to the implementation of emission reduction solutions to improve air quality and health

Full textToluene is a solvent widely used in manufacturing industries. It belongs to a family of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), many of which have adverse impacts on human health and are classified as carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic for reproduction. Different measures have been implemented to reduce the emissions of toxic compounds, such as their replacement in the industry by less harmful compounds and/or reducing gas emissions at the source. In this context, the first objective of the research was to investigate the acute toxicity and the one after repeated exposure to toluene and its superior homologous solvents, which can be used as its substitution compounds, as well as its lower homologous on human bronchial epithelial cells using an air/liquid interface exposure device. The second objective was to assess the toxicity of gaseous effluents from the degradation of toluene by catalytic oxidation. For this purpose, BEAS-2B cells were exposed during 1 hour for 1, 3 or 5 days to benzene, toluene, xylene or mesitylene, and to the exhausts of catalytic oxidation of toluene. Toxic effects were evaluated through cytotoxicity, inflammatory response and gene expression of xenobiotic metabolism enzymes (XME). Exposure of BEAS-2B cells to toluene and its homologous compounds revealed the involvement of metabolic pathways specific to each compound. A significant increase in inflammatory marker response was also observed, with a higher concentration after cell exposure to benzene and to xylene compared to the other molecules. With regard to exposure to gaseous effluents from the catalytic oxidation of toluene, the late expression of genes involved in the metabolism of aromatic organic xenobiotics has made possible to highlight the presence of by-products, such as benzene or polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. In conclusion, the results obtained in this project show the interest of conducting repeated in vitro exposures to detect potential late effects, and the importance of toxicological validation of catalytic systems before scaling-up in industrial pilots

Full textAir pollution is nowadays a major societal challenge, as much for its harmful consequences on human health as on the environment. The general objective of this work was to determine the level of Dakar air pollution, outdoor and indoor, and to assess its health impact in the urban population. Fine particles (PM₂.₅) and a coarser fraction (PM>₂.₅) sampled at an urban site in Dakar (HLM), characterized by high road traffic emissions, were compared with particles sampled at a rural area, Toubab Dialaw located about 40 km from Dakar. The physicochemical characteristics of samples revealed that PMs differ for their physical (surface area) and chemical properties (in terms of CHN, metals, ions, paraffins, VOCs and PAHs) that were 65 to 75 % higher in urban samples. In accordance with the different sources and different physical and chemical properties, the inflammatory response (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8) and the oxidative damage (total carbonylated proteins and 8-OHdG) were found higher in bronchial BEAS-2B cells exposed to urban PMs. The air quality measurement campaign showed that the bus interior was more polluted with PM₁₀, CO, CO₂ and NO than the market and the urban and rural indoor sites. The comparison of air quality between indoor and outdoor sites revealed that, particularly in urban areas, indoor air quality may be worse than the corresponding outdoor one. Monitoring individual exposure to pollutants showed that housewives in urban and rural sites were more exposed than professionals to air pollution, confirming previous observations of potential higher individual exposure level to pollutants in indoor environment. However, exposure level of traders and bus drivers that would result from the exhaust of traffic with often old, poorly maintained and uncontrolled vehicles has to be taken into consideration due the higher levels of gaseous pollutants here reported

Full textEpidemiologic studies on the health effects of ultrafine particles from atmospheric pollution and in vitro or in vivo studies on manufactured nanoparticles toxicity suggest that potential hazards may result from new physico-chemical properties of materials at nanometric scale. To assess human health risk after occupational or environmental exposure or to demonstrate a causal relationship between such exposures and diseases may be hindered by the lack of reference method to characterize and quantify nanometric particles in biological tissues and fluids. This work allowed us to develop such a method based on samples preparation by alkaline digestion and microfiltration followed by analytical electron microscopy analysis. This method applied in two studies allowed us to confirm that pleural translocation of nanometric particles and accumulation in black spots were possible in human and that they also may pass through the placental barrier with potential fetal exposure. This work also allowed us to characterize some sources of occupational and environmental exposures. After time-cost optimization of this method, it could be used to define reference values on larger population-representative samples or used for the medical follow-up of exposed workers

Full textIntroduction. The general goal of the ELISABET (Enquête Littoral Souffle Air Biologie Environnement) survey is to study the respiratory and cardiovascular health in two urban areas in northern France (Lille and Dunkirk). The specific objectives of this thesis are to study: (i) the prevalence and underdiagnosis of airway obstruction (AO), (ii) long-term time trends in the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors between 1986 and 2013 in the Lille urban area, (iii) the relationships between both the fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FENO) and the blood eosinophil count (B-eos) on one hand and asthma and atopy on the other, according to smoking status, (iv) whether low-grade systemic inflammation (as measured by the level of high sensitivity-C-reactive protein, hs-CRP) mediated the relationship between diabetes and lung function, and (v) the short-term impact of atmospheric pollution on lung function.Methods. The 3276 participants (aged from 40 to 64) in the 2011-2013 ELISABET cross-sectional survey were selected from electoral rolls by random sampling, and recruited between January 2011 and November 2013. A detailed questionnaire, lung function tests, and a blood sample collection were performed. (i) AO was defined by a forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) to forced vital capacity (FVC) ratio below 0.70 or below the lower limit of normal calculated by the most recent reference equations of the Global Lung Initiative. (ii) The prevalence of the main cardiovascular risk factors was estimated from representative samples inhabitants of Lille urban area from MONICA1986-88, MONICA1995-96, MONALISA2005-07 and ELISABET2011-13 surveys. (iii) Allergic asthma was defined as asthma (a self-report of physician-diagnosed asthma, and wheezing in the previous 12 months or the use of asthma medications) with atopy. (iv) Diabetes mellitus was defined as ongoing diabetes treatment or a fasting blood glucose level ≥1.26 g/L or a hemoglobin A1c value ≥6.5%. A mediation analysis was performed to assess and quantify the hs-CRP level as a mediator of the relationship between diabetes and lung function from a sample of participants without self-reported pulmonary and atherosclerotic disease. (v) Measurements of particles less than 10 mm in diameter (PM10) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) were provided by measuring stations ATMO in the two urban areas.Main results. (i) The prevalence of AO in northern France ranged from 9.5 to 16.0%, depending on the centre and definition used; the underdiagnosis rate was high (around 75%). (ii) A steady decline in the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors over a 25-year period was observed, with the exception of tobacco use in women, prevalence of diabetes in men (both of which remained stable) and prevalence of overweight in men (which increased). (iii) A positive interaction between smoking status and allergic asthma was observed in multivariate models explaining FENO (p=0.003) and B-eos (p=0.001). Thus, compared to those without allergic asthma, participants with allergic asthma had higher FENO values (+63.4%, 95%CI=[39; 92]) and higher B-eos (+63.2% [38.2; 92.7]) in never and former smokers, but not in current smokers. (iv) Diabetes was associated with FEV1 (-3.5% [-5.8; -1.3]) and FVC (-3.6% [-5.9; -1.3]). Strength of both latter associations fell to -3.1% [-5.4; -0.9] after adjustment for hs-CRP. Hence, the proportion of the effect that is mediated by hs-CRP was 12% [2.4; 37] and 13% [3.7; 39.4] for FEV1 and FVC, respectively. (v) Measurements of PM10 and NO2 seemed to be associated with lower values of the expiratory flow at 25% of the FVC (preliminary result).Conclusion. Data from the ELISABET survey have allowed the study of the prevalence of AO and the main cardiovascular risk factors in our population. They also allowed obtaining original results from clinical and pathophysiological studies

Full textFrom the 1st to the 5th December 1930, a thick fog spread in the Meuse valley. Many losing their lives. One year later, experts came to conclusions: coal and sulphuric compound of it combustion were implicated. But how does "coal" come to participate in the production of fogs and to befoul, fatally, the lungs of those forced to inhale it ? The « coal - toxic fog - lungs » links is not obvious. This study aims to reconstitute the historic conditions of their construction. By considering this disaster over the period necessary for its production - as a process and not as an hiatus - ; by following the trail of the materials of its constitution - their progress and the technical, social, political and discursive assemblies - necessary for their transformation; by studying the role and the effects of the scientific practices, this work allows an understanding of the joint transformation, by the industrialization, of bodies and environments and the production of new meteorological phenomena

Full textActually air pollution is ubiquitous due to the emission of chemical compound from many sources. In this context, Polycyclic Aromaric Hydrocarbons (PAH)related compounds are widely distributed in the air and have shown deleterious health effects.Fluorene was chosen as a representative compound of PAHs pollution. This work consisted in the evaluation of its neurotoxic effects in adult animals, exposed i.p., orally or by exposure nose-only. The inhalation model of exposure was then applied to the study of its effects on sensorimotor development and on behavioral activity of animals exposed in utero or during lactation.The results showed that fluorene is able to induce behavioral changes in adult animals exposed directly or indirectly on the level of anxiety and the locomotor activity, whereas no effect on learning and memory abilities has been observed. However, no defect on the development of motor and sensory functions was demonstrated. Furthermore, the analysis of the presence of the compound and three of its metabolites showed that the pollutant was able to cross the blood brain barrier and can be metabolized in the brain. Moreover, variations have been observed concerning behavioral and physiological responses between studies, showing that effects induced by fluorene are dependent on the way of administration, the level of contamination and the time of exposure.In conclusion, these results demonstrate in animals the behavioral toxicity of fluorene at levels of contamination corresponding to human cases of exposure, confirming so the risk of PAH exposure throughout life

Full textThe objectives of this thesis were to study the respiratory effects of air pollution by taking into account three levels of exposure: the macroscopic, semi-individual and individual levels. For the macroscopic level, we studied the health effects of emissions from forest fires in an ecological study. Through a literature review, we found that several epidemiological studies have shown the association between exposure to wildfire emissions and increase cardiopulmonary disease and mortality for the people living nearby. The main limitation of these studies is given by the exposure assessment. In a case study of the wildfire occurred in Marseille in the summer 2009, we observed effects at the limit of significance 8 and 9 days after exposure between concentrations of fine particles (PM2.5) from fire and respiratory effects .For semi-individual level, we have studied the link between domestic and occupational pollution and respiratory diseases among farmers from Auvergne using a cross-sectional study. We observed that the halogenated hydrocarbons and Etyl-butoxyacetate were significantly associated with the small airways disease. Benzene concentration in the living room of the farm was significantly associated with an increased risk of asthma. Finally, the use of a biomarker (the mercapturic acid) in the context of a case-control study allowed us to measure the internal dose of the exposure to benzene and its link with asthma among children included the study

Full textExposure to air pollution, especially fine particulate matter (PM₂.₅), remains a major health risk, mainly in the developing countries. Northern Lebanon is affected by several sources of anthropogenic, urban and industrial pollution. However, no studies have examined the impact of PM₂.₅ on public health in this region. In addition, it should be noted that the toxicity mechanisms of PM₂.₅ are not fully identified. The aim of this work is to study the composition and the health impact of the atmospheric particulates in Northern Lebanon. An epidemiological survey was performed and fine particles were extracted and characterized physico-chemically and toxicologically. This study was conducted in two sites, one of which is influenced by industrial activities. Perception and epidemiological survet, conducted in two areas in Northern Lebanon, rural and industrial (310 treatable questionnaires/area), showed a relationship between annoyance, respiratory diseases and living in proximity to industrial activities. Moreover, results confirmed the interest in conducting a toxicological study in this region. Hence, to contribute to fulfill the gap of knowledge about the pulmonary toxicity of particulate matter and the mechanisms of action involved in the carcinogenicity, the study of physicochemical characteristics and toxicological endpoints of PM₂.₅₋₀.₃ from both sites were performed. Physicochemical analyses of the collected particles evidenced similar characteristics in major species. In particular, we have shown slightly higher levels of PAHs and trace metals and up to 100 times higher dioxins concentrations at the vicinity of industries. Our results evidenced the influence of numerous combustion sources (diesel, gasoline, coal and biomass burning) ; waste combustion and other industrial processes are also suspected. A more pronounced genotoxic and mutagenic potential was evidenced after exposure to particles collected at the vicinity of industries when compared to the rural ones, using the Ames fluctuation test and SOS chromotest. The effects of the collected particles are probably related to their organic composition. In order to assess the underlying toxic mechanisms, human bronchial epithelial cells (BEAS-2B) were then exposed to different concentrations of the sampled PM₂.₅₋₀.₃. Genotoxicity mechanisms such as metabolic activation of organic compounds (CYP1A1) and consecutive DNA damages such as DNA strands breaks (yH2AX quantification by flow cytometry analysis and in-cell western assay) were induced by the two samples of PM₂.₅₋₀.₃ , with a more pronounced effect of industrial particles. Moreover, PM showed tendency to alter the DNA repair process (OGGI, NTH1, APE1, NUDT1, DNMT1, MGMT, XPA, XRRC1 gene expression and PARP1, DNMT1, OGG1 proteins expression). DNA repair mechanisms were repressed up to 48h of exposure to PM especially to the industrial influenced PM₂.₅₋₀.₃ and reactivated after 72h of exposure. The DNA damages involve bulky DNA adducts, oxidative stress damages, DNA strand breaks and methylation. These results suggest mutagenic, genotoxic and epigenetic mechanisms of action involved in the carcinogenicity of fine particles, partly related to their organic composition

Full text[This research attempt to show the origins of the pollution in the city of Teheran, the distribution of the particules in suspension in the city and its consequences on the trees of the streets and the parcs. The differents types of anticyclonics weathers, the frequence of "calmes" and the basin topography facilitates the formation of a dome of pollution that has problems to evacuate outside. A displacement of the maximum of pollution takes place during the day inside the urban tissue, in relation with the breezes of the slopes. In the morning, a pollution pick is evident in the heart of the city (around 10h). The origins of chemical pollution are internal to the city : traffic and industrial activities. Event though they are diffused the maximum remains in the south and center east. The physical pollution, particles come from the southern extra urban deserts and penetrate into the city through the south gully. From the point of view of microclimatology and topoclimatology the center and center south sectors of the city are therefore the most hit. The trees of the sidewalks and for the parks and gardens are in a better sanitary state and their growth is more rapid in this sector. This paradox allows us to conclude that pollution is not the major problem of ligneous trees. The planes, in particular, must suffer from a lack of water at the level of their rooting system much more than from a physical or chemical modification of the urban atmosphere. ]

Full textEpidemiological studies have highlighted the health impacts of ambient particulate matter (PM), and especially on cardio-respiratory diseases. Inhaled PM induces an inflammatory response in the respiratory tract that results from an increased release of inflammatory mediators such as the pro-inflammatory cytokine GM-CSF. The aim of this work was to characterize in vitro the pro-inflammatory response induced by fine (PM2. 5 and PM1 : particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter les than 2. 5 and 1 um) and ultrafine (PM0. 1) particulate matter in human respiratory epithelial cells. The comparison of the size fractions of Paris aerosol (PMO. 03-0. 1, PMO. 1-1, PM1-2. 5 and PM2. 5-10) showed that fine PMO. 1-1 and ultrafine PMO. 03-0. 1 systematically induced the highest release of the pro-inflammatory biomarker GM-CSF. This pro-inflammatory effect was correlated to particle organic carbon content. The study of the mechanisms of the pro-inflammatory response induced by Paris PM2. 5 revealed that (1) the expression and release of the growth factor amphiregulin (AR) which is an EGF receptor (EGFR) ligand, were increased through EGFR and MAP Kinases activation and (2) AR participates in PM2. 5-induced GM-CSF release. These results strengthened the hypothesis of a higher reactivity of fine and ultrafine urban PM and highlighted for the first time the involvement of EGFR and its ligands in PM-induced pro-inflammatory response of respiratory epithelial cells

Full textAir pollution is a current concern. Many epidemiological studies suggest that particulate air pollution is responsible for exacerbation and/or induction of cardiorespiratory diseases and cancer. Potential targets of particles are airway epithelial cells, resident inflammatory cells and endothelial cells of microvessels. Mechanisms for the action of particle are largely unclear, although the hypothesis of development of an inflammatory response in the airways is accepted. In the present study, we used model cell Systems in which cells were in an environment quite similar to that of the in vivo context. This enabled the study of the effects on ambient urban particles on non-injured upper airway epithelium and vascular endothelium, either directly or indirectly via the alveolar epithelium. Results showed that fine particles do not enter into well-differentiated epithelial cells. Nevertheless, particles induce release of mediators, and notably proinflammatory cytokines. I addition, particles enhance intracellular oxidative stress and alter the permeability of the airway epithelium. Moreover, the vascular endothelium directly exposed to particles overexpressed PAI-1 and MMP-1 genes, which may play a crucial role in coagulation and tumor progression. Thus, our results suggest that thé airway epithelium is implicated in the local inflammatory response in the lung, and that endothelium damaged by particles may be responsible for certain diseases

Full textWhereas rhinitis has an important public health impact, in adults there is no standardized definition of rhinitis in epidemiological studies. Furthermore, environmental factors of rhinitis are barely known, and in particular, there are very few studies on the effects of long-term exposure to air pollution on rhinitis in adults. To fill these gaps, we used data from two European multicentre epidemiological studies with extensive data on respiratory health and individual estimated exposures to long-term air pollution. Our findings showed that to better characterize rhinitis, one need to consider together all the characteristics of the nasal symptoms, the comorbidities and the allergic sensitization, and not to restrict the disease to one question or one allergic sensitization test. We found no association between long-term air pollution and incidence of rhinitis, but we showed that long-term exposure to air pollution is associated to an increased severity of rhinitis, emphasising that air pollution needs to be controlled

Full textThe Maurienne is subjected to a heavy traffic of lories and cars crossing the Alps through the Frejus tunnel. Atmospheric pollution depending on traffic has been studied using a dense net of biological and chemical sensors. The adhesive properties of plant cuticles of Pinus sylvestris, Pinus nigra and Picea abies were used for spatio-temporal analyses of emitted particles. Elementary composition of deposits was determined using SEM and Xray spectrometry. Analyses were focused on P and traffic tracers (Al, Ti, Fe). Results show that traffic particles can be transported as far as 300 m from the roads and highways while Phosphorus was detected at some kilometers from the factory. The poaceae Molinia caerulea was used for nitrogen pollution study. Leaf growth and nitrogen content were related to NOx levels and traffic density. Moreover, nitrogen isotopic composition (d15N) of leaves depend on exposure to traffic related nitrogen oxides. Taken altogether, results show that Molinia can be used as a nitrogen bioindicator and give information on the potential impact on mountain ecosystems in the vicinity of main roads and motorways. Both biological (tobacco Bel-W3) and chemical methods were used for determination of levels and distribution of tropospheric ozone in the Maurienne valley in 2004 and 2005. Results confirm the usefulness of both biological and chemical approachs for ozone levels determination at low altitudes. However, a sensitivity loss of ozone sensitive tobacco plants in hard mountainous conditions was characterized, limiting its use under 1000 m. This approach by the simultaneous use of several techniques and a dense network of stations give a realistic picture of the atmospheric pollution in a mountain valley and its potential impacts on forest ecosystems

Full textThis thesis was a contribution to the CORUS-POLCA (French acronym for " POLlution des Capitales Africaines ") program with the aim to characterize particulate pollution on traffic sites of two West-African capitals (Bamako, Mali and Dakar, Senegal) and to study aerosol biological impacts on lung inflammation. Urban particulate pollution with levels much higher than WHO norms, are in the focus due to intense African traffic sources and domestic fires. In this context, fundamental research of this thesis is centred on the following key scientific questions: - What is the chemical speciation of aerosols by size classes for black carbon, organic carbon, inorganic species, and trace elements for the two sites of POLCA program ? - What is the toxicity of these combustion aerosols and the oxidative stress levels ? - What is the link between aerosol size differentiated composition and inflammation markers for each source ? - What is the link between aerosol exposure and aerosol dose within the respiratory tract ? To tackle these questions, samples obtained during the intensive campaigns in Bamako (January 2009) and Dakar (December 2009) have been chemically analyzed to obtain differentiated aerosol chemical composition within size classes. All these measurements are conducted to a well physico-chemical characterization of particles in addition to source contributing determination using multivariate models (PCA, PMF). This study has been coupled to in vitro biological studies on sampled aerosols on the two sites. Such coupled studies allow to further understand the complex relationship between emissions source/aerosols chemistry/size distributions and biological health impacts. Finally, in this study, the DEPCLUNG (DEPosition, Clearance, LUNG) model was developed to evaluate chemically/size exposures to aerosol particle size distributions and calculate their respective concentrations/doses in the different compartments (trachea, bronchial, bronchiolar, alveolar) of the human respiratory tract. The conjunction of three themes, namely characterization of the urban particulate pollution in West Africa and its sources, its toxicological impact and dose modeling in the respiratory tract results in the multidisciplinary innovative character of the thesis
