Operationalizing vulnerability and resilience interdependencies in drought risk management
Droughts, exacerbated by climate change, pose increasingly complex challenges for social-ecological systems worldwide. Traditional index-based methodologies capture vulnerability and resilience at an aggregate level but often overlook the nuanced ways in which these two constructs interact. To address this gap, this study introduces the Matrix-Based Drought Indicator System (MADIS) framework that operationalizes the interdependence between vulner…
Brazil is already experiencing the brutal impacts of climate change
Brazil is increasingly experiencing severe climate events, including extreme droughts, wildfires, floods, and heatwaves, driven by both excessive rainfall and prolonged dry periods. These disasters have resulted in significant environmental, economic, and social losses, deepening inequality and fuelling public health crises. Climate change is disproportionately affecting vulnerable populations and contributing to the rise of disease outbreaks suc…

Essential and Toxic Elements in Infant Cereal in Brazil
Infant cereals, one of the first solid foods introduced to infants, have been reported to pose risks to human health because they contain toxic elements and an excess of essential elements. The objective of this study was to assess the cancer and non-cancer risk of exposure to essential and toxic elements in infant cereal in Brazil. In our analyses, we included data from 18 samples of infant cereals made from different raw materials and estimated…
Exposure to Inorganic Arsenic in Rice in Brazil
In certain populations, rice is the main source of exposure to inorganic arsenic (iAs), which is associated with cancer and non-cancer effects. Although rice is a staple food in Brazil, there have been few studies about the health risks for the Brazilian population. The objective of this study was to assess the risks of exposure to iAs from white rice and brown rice in Brazil, in terms of the carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic effects, and to prop…
Potentially Toxic Elements in Costume Cosmetics Used by Children and Adults Are Associated with Cancer Risk
(1) Background: Costume cosmetics, such as face paints and pancakes, are used by adults and children during Halloween, Carnival, or children's parties. However, the metallic-based pigments used as dyes in these products may contain toxic elements associated with different levels of exposure. Objectives: (a) to determine the Al, As, Ba, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Sb, Sn, and Sr concentrations in face paints and pancakes; and (b) to estimate cancer an…
Trends in Temperature-associated Mortality in São Paulo (Brazil) between 2000 and 2018
Exposure to non-optimal temperatures remains the single most deathful direct climate change impact to health. The risk varies based on the adaptation capacity of the exposed population which can be driven by climatic and/or non-climatic factors subject to fluctuations over time. We investigated temporal changes in the exposure-response relationship between daily mean temperature and mortality by cause of death, sex, age, and ethnicity in the mega…

Influência da densidade de tráfego veicular na internação por câncer do aparelho respiratório no Município de São Paulo, Brasil
A poluição relacionada ao tráfego é um grande problema nos centros urbanos, e uma grande parcela da população fica vulnerável aos seus efeitos à saúde. Este trabalho teve como objetivo identificar potencial associação entre as internações hospitalares por câncer do aparelho respiratório com a densidade de tráfego veicular no Município de São Paulo, Brasil. É um estudo ecológico com dados de internações hospitalares por câncer dos sistemas público…
Poluição do ar e doenças respiratórias e cardiovasculares
This study evaluated the association between air pollution and hospital admissions due to respiratory and cardiovascular diseases in Cubatão, São Paulo State, Brazil. Generalized additive Poisson regression models were used to model daily concentrations of particulate matter (PM10), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and ozone (O3) and daily hospital admissions counts. Explanatory variables were temperature, relative humidity, day of the week, and holidays. F…
Desigualdades socioeconômicas na incidência e mortalidade por câncer
INTRODUÇÃO: Desigualdades socioeconômicas se manifestam na incidência e mortalidade por neoplasias malignas. Estudos ecológicos representam abordagem essencial em epidemiologia e podem contribuir na investigação dos determinantes sociais dos eventos em saúde. OBJETIVO: Investigar associações entre nível socioeconômico e incidência e mortalidade por câncer e seus tipos, através de revisão de estudos ecológicos. Definir a real importância desempenh…
Avaliação econômica dos custos da poluição em Cubatão - SP com base nos gastos com saúde relacionados às doenças dos aparelhos respiratório e circulatório
O objetivo básico do trabalho foi avaliar os custos econômicos relacionados às doenças dos aparelhos respiratório e circulatório no município de Cubatão (SP). Para tanto, foram utilizados dados de internação e dias de trabalho perdidos com a internação (na faixa dos 14 aos 70 anos de idade), na base de dados do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS). Resultados: A partir dos dados levantados, calculou-se o valor total de R$ 22,1 milhões gastos no período d…
P1-302 Positive association between traffic-related air pollution and socioeconomic status in a megacity of a developing country
Introduction Most studies have shown that populations with lower socioeconomic status tend to experience higher levels of exposure to environmental air pollutants. We investigated the association between neighbourhood socioeconomic status and traffic related air pollution in São Paulo. Methods We calculated total traffic density and traffic density for vehicles powered by gasoline and diesel, from traffic counts data, for 4964 geographical units …
P2-254 Exposure to traffic and cancer hospitalisation in São Paulo
Introduction Previous studies in developed countries have documented associations between air pollution and risk of some neoplasms. We explored the association of traffic-related air pollution with hospitalisations for cancer groups. Methods Our analysis included all individuals admitted to public or private hospitals in São Paulo from 2004 to 2006 with a main diagnosis of primary invasive cancer. Only the first individual admission was considere…
PAH biomarkers for human health risk assessment
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) are widely distributed in the environment, and some are carcinogenic to human beings. The study of biomarkers has helped clarify the nature and magnitude of the human health risks posed by such substances. This article provides a review of the state-of-the-art on PAH biomarkers for human health risk assessment and also discusses their applicability within the context of environmental management in Brazil. Th…
Informações sobre acidentes com transporte rodoviário de produtos perigosos no Estado de São Paulo
O estudo dos acidentes com produtos perigosos é uma das áreas de atuação da vigilância em saúde ambiental. Os riscos envolvidos no transporte rodoviário de produtos perigosos são grandes e estão diretamente relacionados às propriedades das substâncias envolvidas, à qualidade da malha viária, à presença de áreas densamente povoadas no entorno, à presença de pedestres na via, entre outros, e suas conseqüências podem ser muito severas. Um dos requis…
