Robust Indicators of Residential Mobility Derived From Longitudinal Canadian Data to Examine Population Health Across the Life Course
HealthyPlan.City
Urban environmental factors such as air quality, heat islands, and access to greenspaces and community amenities impact public health. Some vulnerable populations such as low-income groups, children, older adults, new immigrants, and visible minorities live in areas with fewer beneficial conditions, and therefore, face greater health risks. Planning and advocating for equitable healthy urban environments requires systematic analysis of reliable s…
Canada needs a funding institute focused on environments, health, and societal well-being research
Association between gas stove use and childhood asthma in the Canadian CHILD Cohort Study
Changes in preterm birth and stillbirth during Covid-19 lockdowns in 26 countries
Preterm birth (PTB) is the leading cause of infant mortality worldwide. Changes in PTB rates, ranging from −90% to +30%, were reported in many countries following early COVID-19 pandemic response measures ('lockdowns'). It is unclear whether this variation reflects real differences in lockdown impacts, or perhaps differences in stillbirth rates and/or study designs. Here we present interrupted time series and meta-analyses using harmonized data f…
Inferring ground-level nitrogen dioxide concentrations at fine spatial resolution applied to the TROPOMI satellite instrument
Satellite-based estimates of ground-level nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ) concentrations are useful for understanding links between air quality and health. A longstanding question has been why prior satellite-derived surface NO 2 concentrations are biased low with respect to ground-based measurements. In this work we demonstrate that these biases are due to both the coarse resolution of previous satellite NO 2 products and inaccuracies in vertical mixin…
Variability in ambient ozone and fine particle concentrations and population susceptibility among Canadian health regions
A substantial proportion of the Canadian population exhibits at least one risk factor that increases their susceptibility to adverse effects of O 3 and PM 2.5 exposure. Both risk communication and management interventions need to be increasingly targeted to regions outside large urban centres in the highest quartiles of both susceptibility and exposure
The Canadian Urban Environmental Health Research Consortium – a protocol for building a national environmental exposure data platform for integrated analyses of urban form and health
CANUE represents a unique effort to coordinate and leverage substantial research investments and will enable a more focused effort on filling gaps in exposure information, improving the range of exposures quantified, their precision and mechanistic relevance to health. Epidemiological studies may be better able to explore the common theme of urban form and health in an integrated manner, ultimately contributing new knowledge informing policies th…
Particulate Matter Air Pollution and Cardiovascular Disease
In 2004, the first American Heart Association scientific statement on “Air Pollution and Cardiovascular Disease” concluded that exposure to particulate matter (PM) air pollution contributes to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. In the interim, numerous studies have expanded our understanding of this association and further elucidated the physiological and molecular mechanisms involved. The main objective of this updated American Heart Associ…
Establishing the spatial variability of ambient nitrogen dioxide in Windsor, Ontario
This study is aimed at identifying the determinants of intra‐urban variation in ambient concentrations of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, and to develop a model to predict NO2 in the city. NO2 samples were collected over a two‐week period during winter 2004 by using passive samplers in 50 locations across Windsor. A land use regression (LUR) model was constructed to generate independent variables that could best predict NO2 co…
A GIS-Environmental Justice Analysis of Particulate Air Pollution in Hamilton, Canada
The authors address two research questions: (1) Are populations with lower socioeconomic status, compared with people of higher socioeconomic status, more likely to be exposed to higher levels of particulate air pollution in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada? (2) How sensitive is the association between levels of particulate air pollution and socioeconomic status to specification of exposure estimates or statistical models? Total suspended particulate (T…
