Estimating the environmental burden of disease in children and adolescents in Germany
Introduction: Children and adolescents play an exceptional role in our society especially when it comes to safeguarding their health and given their higher susceptibility to environmental risk factors and ongoing physical development. Method: We used data from the population-representative cross-sectional German Environmental Survey for Children and Adolescents (GerES V) and assessed the feasibility of applying the environmental burden of disease…
Burden of Disease Due to Ambient Particulate Matter in Germany—Explaining the Differences in the Available Estimates
Ambient particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) pollution is an important threat to human health. The aim of this study is to estimate the environmental burden of disease (EBD) for the German population associated with PM 2.5 exposure in Germany for the years 2010 until 2018. The EBD method was used to quantify relevant indicators, e.g., disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), and the life table approach was used to estimate the reduction in life expectancy…
Sex and gender approaches in environmental health research
Engaging with the analytical categories of sex and gender in environmental health studies remains challenging in practice but promising with regards to research excellence and scientific benefit. The German Environment Agency reports on two case studies navigating this complex interaction in the fields of health risk assessment of environmental stressors and human biomonitoring studies. It is apparent that the levels of integration of the sex/gen…
Burden of Outdoor Air Pollution in Kerala, India—A First Health Risk Assessment at State Level
Ambient air pollution causes a considerable disease burden, particularly in South Asia. The objective of the study is to test the feasibility of applying the environmental burden of disease method at state level in India and to quantify a first set of disease burden estimates due to ambient air pollution in Kerala. Particulate Matter (PM) was used as an indicator for ambient air pollution. The disease burden was quantified in Years of Life Lost (…
