What Are the Costs of Heat Spell Mortality in Europe’s Urban Areas up to 2050
The objective of this study is to estimate the welfare economic costs of premature cardiopulmonary disease (CPD) mortality in Europe and Asia Minor under a middle-of-the-road scenario for global warming. It projects future heat-related CPD fatalities in urban areas over the next 25 years for 317 regions of 39 countries by applying regionalized exposure-response functions for heat- and air pollution–related premature mortality. These functions are…
Excess mortality attributed to heat and cold: A health impact assessment study in 854 cities in Europe
BACKGROUND: Heat and cold are established environmental risk factors for human health. However, mapping the related health burden is a difficult task due to the complexity of the associations and the differences in vulnerability and demographic distributions. In this study, we did a comprehensive mortality impact assessment due to heat and cold in European urban areas, considering geographical differences and age-specific risks. METHODS: We inclu…
Development and Evaluation of Spatio-Temporal Air Pollution Exposure Models and Their Combinations in the Greater London Area, UK
Land use regression (LUR) and dispersion/chemical transport models (D/CTMs) are frequently applied to predict exposure to air pollution concentrations at a fine scale for use in epidemiological studies. Moreover, the use of satellite aerosol optical depth data has been a key predictor especially for particulate matter pollution and when studying large populations. Within the STEAM project we present a hybrid spatio-temporal modeling framework by …
Spatial Variability in the Effect of High Ambient Temperature on Mortality: An Analysis at Municipality Level within the Greater Athens Area
Spatial variability in temperature exists within metropolitan areas but very few studies have investigated intra-urban differentiation in the temperature-mortality effects. We investigated whether local characteristics of 42 Municipalities within the Greater Athens Area lead to modified temperature effects on mortality and if effect modifiers can be identified. Generalized Estimating Equations models were used to assess the effect of high ambient…
