Impact of population aging on future temperature-related mortality at different...
Chen, Kai; de Schrijver, Evan; Sivaraj, Sidharth; Sera, Francesco; Scovronick, Noah; Jiang, Leiwen; Roye, Dominic; Lavigne, Eric; Kyselý, JanOlder adults are generally amongst the most vulnerable to heat and cold. While temperature-related health impacts are projected to increase with global warming, the influence of population aging on these trends remains unclear. Here we show that at 1.5 °C, 2 °C, and 3 °C of global warming, heat-related mortality in 800 locations across 50 countries/areas will increase by 0.5%, 1.0%, and 2.5%, respectively; amon...
Air pollution mixture complexity and its effect on PM2.5-related mortality: A m...
Masselot, Pierre; Kan, Haidong; Kharol, Shailesh K; Bell, Michelle L.; Sera, Francesco; Lavigne, Eric; Breitner, SusanneBackground: Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) occurs within a mixture of other pollutant gases that interact and impact its composition and toxicity. To characterize the local toxicity of PM2.5, it is useful to have an index that accounts for the whole pollutant mix, including gaseous pollutants. We consider a recently proposed pollutant mixture complexity index (PMCI) to evaluate to which extent it relates to PM...

Short-Term Association between Sulfur Dioxide and Mortality: A Multicountry Ana...
O’Brien, Edward; Masselot, Pierre; Sera, Francesco; Roye, Dominic; Breitner, Susanne; Ng, Chris Fook ShengBackground: Epidemiological evidence on the health risks of sulfur dioxide (sulfur dioxide SO2) is more limited compared with other pollutants, and doubts remain on several aspects, such as the form of the exposure–response relationship, the potential role of copollutants, as well as the actual risk at low concentrations and possible temporal variation in risks. Objectives: Our aim was to assess the short-term ...
Mortality risks associated with floods in 761 communities worldwide: time serie...
Yang, Zhengyu; Huang, Wenzhong; McKenzie, Joanne E.; Xu, Rongbin; Yu, Pei; Ye, Tingting; Wen, Bo; Gasparrini, Antonio; Armstrong, Ben; Tong, ShiluObjective: To evaluate lag-response associations and effect modifications of exposure to floods with risks of all cause, cardiovascular, and respiratory mortality on a global scale. Design: Time series study. Setting: 761 communities in 35 countries or territories with at least one flood event during the study period. Participants: Multi-Country Multi-City Collaborative Research Network database, Australian Cau...
Excess mortality attributed to heat and cold: a health impact assessment study ...
Masselot, Pierre; Monteiro, Ana; MCC Collaborative Research Network; EXHAUSTION projectBackground: 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 a...
