Повний текст джерелаEl papel diferencial en que las diferentes fracciones de partículas en suspensión en el aire (PMs), sus fuentes y componentes producen efectos adversos para la salud no está completamente entendido. Las lagunas actuales incluyen el papel de las PMs generadas por el tráfico y los efectos de las PMs generadas por fuentes naturales. La investigación epidemiológica relacionada con fuentes todavía falta ser integrada en el proceso de evaluación de impacto, una herramienta fundamental para informar a los tomadores de decisiones y el público sobre la situación actual o el impacto de futuras o pasadas políticas de contaminación atmosférica. Esta tesis trata estas áreas. Para explorar el papel de las PMs generadas por diferentes fuentes, se ha investigado la asociación entre diferentes fracciones de PMs y mortalidad en Barcelona (España) y se ha usado datos de composición química de PMs para identificar las fuentes y los componentes relacionados con la toxicidad. Para ilustrar que las evaluaciones de impacto a nivel local son herramientas útiles en salud pública, se ha estimado el beneficio en salud y económico que resultaría de diferentes escenarios de mejora de la calidad del aire en el área metropolitana de Barcelona y en dos comunidades de California del Sur. Estos estudios de casos incluyen nuevos métodos para integrar en las evaluaciones de impacto las nuevas evidencias epidemiológicas que relacionan la exposición al tráfico con los efectos en salud. Esta tesis contribuye a un mayor entendimiento del vínculo entre las fracciones de PM, sus fuentes y componentes y los efectos en salud así como a la mejora de los métodos de las evaluaciones de impacto. Estas contribuciones tienen importantes implicaciones para la salud pública y las políticas públicas de contaminación atmosférica.

Повний текст джерелаThe aims of this study were (a) to examine the profile of hospital admissions for selected respiratory illnesses for two major hospitals in Cape Town, and (b) to analyse the association of such admissions with air pollution indicators and meteorological variables. The first part of the study investigated the admission patterns of coloured and African children under twelve years of age who were diagnosed as suffering from asthma or acute respiratory infections at two major teaching hospitals in Cape Town. Computerized hospital admission records covering the years 1988-1990 from the overnight holding wards of the Red Cross War Memorial Children's Hospital and Tygerberg Hospital were used to determine patterns with respect to diagnosis, gender, race, age and date of admission. During the three year study period, respiratory admissions at both hospitals accounted for 15 078 (47.3%) out of a total of 31 887 admissions. Acute respiratory infections accounted for 63.6% and asthma 37.4 % of these respiratory admissions. Two factors of interest were noted: (1) Considerably more males than females were admitted with both asthma and acute respiratory infections. (2) Asthma admissions to Red Cross Hospital among African children were proportionally much less than those of coloured children when compared to the proportions of admissions for acute respiratory infections. After removal of the seasonal effect, a multiple linear regression model was fitted to the data to determine the individual associations between admissions and ambient environmental variables. Significant associations were found between: (1) acute respiratory infections and oxides of nitrogen, soiling index, and temperature; (2) asthma and oxides of nitrogen (3) total admissions and soiling index, average temperature and minimum temperature (negative). The study concluded that despite generally low levels of air pollution in Cape Town, childhood respiratory admissions to Red Cross War Memorial Children's Hospital and Tygerberg Hospital were statistically significantly associated with some ambient air pollutants as well as temperature. However, given the nature of both the exposure and admissions databases, these results should be treated with caution. More representative site selections for air pollution monitors, as well as searching and controlling for possible confounding factors (i.e. indoor air pollution, parental smoking, overcrowding), would allow a better understanding of the current air pollution problem and the possible effects on the respiratory health of children in metropolitan Cape Town.

Повний текст джерелаLa contaminación atmosférica es un problema de salud pública, causa 380 000 muertes anuales en la Unión Europea. Esta tesis tiene como objetivo evaluar la exposición a la contaminación debida al tráfico y sus efectos en la salud respiratoria. Los niveles diarios de carbón y sulfuro medidos centralmente son buenos indicadores de exposición personal en una ciudad mediterránea, para PM2.5 fuentes de emisión alternas se tienen que considerar. La molestia debida a la contaminación no es un marcador de exposición, pero es importante porque refleja las percepciones individuales. La contaminación proveniente del tráfico aumento los síntomas del asma, y probablemente también causa asma en adultos. El PM2.5 proveniente de la combustión aumenta la permeabilidad de la barrera epitelial pulmonar. El tráfico es una fuente importante de la contaminación. Herramientas adecuadas para medir su exposición son requeridas. La contaminación del tráfico es un factor de riesgo importante para la salud respiratoria.
Air pollution is a major public health concern causing annually 380 000 deaths in the European Union. This thesis aims to study traffic-related air pollution exposure assessment and its association with respiratory effects. Daily levels of carbon and sulphur of outdoor central measurements are good surrogates for personal exposure in a Mediterranean setting; for PM2.5 other sources have to be taken into account. Annoyance due to air pollution is not a valid maker of air pollution exposure but is valuable in its own right as it integrates individual perceptions. Traffic-related air pollution increases asthma symptoms in adults and an association with new asthma onset is suggested. Furthermore, PM2.5 from combustion might lead to an increase in the lung's epithelial barrier permeability. Traffic-related air pollution is a major source of pollution. Adequate tools to assess its exposure are still needed. Traffic-related air pollution is an important risk factor for respiratory morbidity.

Повний текст джерелаThe 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
