Regional variation in the role of humidity on city-level heat-related mortality
Guo, Q; Mistry, MN; Zhou, X; Zhao, G; Kino, K; Wen, B; Cvijanovic, I; Yoshimura, K; Satoh, Y; Kim, Y; Ng, CFS; Vicedo-Cabrera, AM; Armstrong, BThe rising humid heat is regarded as a severe threat to human survivability, but the proper integration of humid heat into heat-health alerts is still being explored. Using state-of-the-art epidemiological and climatological datasets, we examined the association between multiple heat stress indicators (HSIs) and daily human mortality in 739 cities worldwide. Notable differences were observed in the long-term tr...
Differential Mortality Risks Associated With PM2.5 Components A Multi-Country, ...
Masselot, P; Sera, F; Schneider, R; Kan, H; Lavigne, É; Stafoggia, M; Tobias, A; Chen, H; Burnett, RT; Schwartz, J; Zanobetti, A; Bell, ML; Chen, B-YBackground: The association between fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and mortality widely differs between as well as within countries. Differences in PM2.5 composition can play a role in modifying the effect estimates, but there is little evidence about which components have higher impacts on mortality. Methods: We applied a 2-stage analysis on data collected from 210 locations in 16 countries. In the first stag...
Comparison of weather station and climate reanalysis data for modelling tempera...
Mistry, MN; Schneider, R; Masselot, P; Royé, D; Armstrong, B; Kyselý, J; Orru, H; Sera, F; Tong, S; Lavigne, É; Urban, A; Madureira, J; García-León, DEpidemiological analyses of health risks associated with non-optimal temperature are traditionally based on ground observations from weather stations that offer limited spatial and temporal coverage. Climate reanalysis represents an alternative option that provide complete spatio-temporal exposure coverage, and yet are to be systematically explored for their suitability in assessing temperature-related health r...
The burden of heat-related mortality attributable to recent human-induced clima...
Vicedo-Cabrera, AM; Scovronick, N; Sera, F; Royé, D; Schneider, R; Tobias, A; Astrom, C; Guo, Y; Honda, Y; Hondula, DM; Abrutzky, R; Tong, SClimate change affects human health; however, there have been no large-scale, systematic efforts to quantify the heat-related human health impacts that have already occurred due to climate change. Here, we use empirical data from 732 locations in 43 countries to estimate the mortality burdens associated with the additional heat exposure that has resulted from recent human-induced warming, during the period 1991...
