Ozone-related acute excess mortality projected to increase in the absence of cl...
Domingo, Nina G.G.; Fiore, Arlene M.; Lamarque, Jean-Francois; Kinney, Patrick L.; Jiang, Leiwen; Gasparrini, Antonio; Breitner, Susanne; Lavigne, EricShort-term exposure to ground-level ozone in cities is associated with increased mortality and is expected to worsen with climate and emission changes. However, no study has yet comprehensively assessed future ozone-related acute mortality across diverse geographic areas, various climate scenarios, and using CMIP6 multi-model ensembles, limiting our knowledge on future changes in global ozone-related acute mort...
Joint effect of heat and air pollution on mortality in 620 cities of 36 countries
Stafoggia, Massimo; Michelozzi, Paola; Schneider, Alexandra; Armstrong, Ben; Scortichini, Matteo; Rai, Masna; Achilleos, Souzana; Alahmad, BarrakBackground: The epidemiological evidence on the interaction between heat and ambient air pollution on mortality is still inconsistent. Objectives: To investigate the interaction between heat and ambient air pollution on daily mortality in a large dataset of 620 cities from 36 countries. Methods: We used daily data on all-cause mortality, air temperature, particulate matter ≤ 10 μm (PM10), PM ≤ 2.5 μm (PM2.5), n...
Heat-related cardiorespiratory mortality: Effect modification by air pollution ...
Rai, Masna; Stafoggia, Massimo; de'Donato, Francesca; Scortichini, Matteo; Zafeiratou, Sofia; Vazquez Fernandez, Liliana; Zhang, Siqi; Katsouyanni, KleaHighlights: - Heat effect modification by air pollution on cardiovascular and respiratory mortality was investigated across 482 cities.- Heat effect was seen to be significantly modified by air pollutants PM10, PM2.5, O3, and NO2. -This study is the most extensive research to date investigating the heat effect modification on cardiovascular and respiratory mortality. - This is the first-ever study to deeply inv...
Ambient carbon monoxide and daily mortality: a global time-series study in 337 ...
Chen, Kai; Breitner, Susanne; Wolf, Kathrin; Stafoggia, Massimo; Sera, Francesco; Vicedo-Cabrera, Ana M.; Guo, Yuming; Tong, Shilu; Lavigne, EricBackground: Epidemiological evidence on short-term association between ambient carbon monoxide (CO) and mortality is inconclusive and limited to single cities, regions, or countries. Generalisation of results from previous studies is hindered by potential publication bias and different modelling approaches. We therefore assessed the association between short-term exposure to ambient CO and daily mortality in a ...
Mortality risk attributable to wildfire-related PM2·5 pollution: a global time ...
Chen, Gongbo; Guo, Yuming; Yue, Xu; Tong, Shilu; Gasparrini, Antonio; Bell, Michelle L.; Armstrong, Ben; Schwartz, Joel; Jaakkola, Jouni J.K.Background: Many regions of the world are now facing more frequent and unprecedentedly large wildfires. However, the association between wildfire-related PM2·5 and mortality has not been well characterised. We aimed to comprehensively assess the association between short-term exposure to wildfire-related PM2·5 and mortality across various regions of the world. Methods: For this time series study, data on daily ...
Short term association between ozone and mortality: global two stage time serie...
Vicedo-Cabrera, Ana M.; Sera, Francesco; Liu, Cong; Armstrong, Ben; Milojevic, A.i.; Guo, Yuming; Tong, Shilu; Lavigne, Eric; Kyselý, Jan; Urban, AlešObjective: To assess short term mortality risks and excess mortality associated with exposure to ozone in several cities worldwide. Design: Two stage time series analysis. Setting: 406 cities in 20 countries, with overlapping periods between 1985 and 2015, collected from the database of Multi-City Multi-Country Collaborative Research Network. Population: Deaths for all causes or for external causes only registe...
Ambient particulate air pollution and daily mortality in 652 cities
Liu, Cong; Chen, Renjie; Sera, Francesco; Vicedo-Cabrera, Ana M.; Guo, Yuming; Tong, Shilu; Coelho, Micheline S.Z.S.; Saldiva, Paulo H.N.; Lavigne, EricThe systematic evaluation of the results of time-series studies of air pollution is challenged by differences in model specification and publication bias. We evaluated the associations of inhalable particulate matter (PM) with an aerodynamic diameter of 10 μm or less (PM10) and fine PM with an aerodynamic diameter of 2.5 μm or less (PM2.5) with daily all-cause, cardiovascular, and respiratory mortality across m...
Predicted temperature-increase-induced global health burden and its regional va...
Lee, Jae Young; Kim, Ho; Gasparrini, Antonio; Armstrong, Ben; Bell, Michelle L.; Sera, Francesco; Lavigne, Eric; Abrutzky, Rosana; Tong, ShiluAn increase in the global health burden of temperature was projected for 459 locations in 28 countries worldwide under four representative concentration pathway scenarios until 2099. We determined that the amount of temperature increase for each 100 ppm increase in global CO2 concentrations is nearly constant, regardless of climate scenarios. The overall average temperature increase during 2010-2099 is largest ...
Excess all-cause and influenza-attributable mortality in Europe, December 2016 ...
Vestergaard, Lasse S; Nielsen, Jens; Krause, Tyra G; Espenhain, Laura; Tersago, Katrien; Bustos Sierra, Natalia; Denissov, Gleb; Innos, KaireSince December 2016, excess all-cause mortality was observed in many European countries, especially among people aged ≥ 65 years. We estimated all-cause and influenza-attributable mortality in 19 European countries/regions. Excess mortality was primarily explained by circulation of influenza virus A(H3N2). Cold weather snaps contributed in some countries. The pattern was similar to the last major influenza A(H3...
