Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In developing countries the price of rapid growth is all too often noxious airborne pollution, which annually contributes to a disturbing number of avoidable deaths. In recent decades, however, there has been considerable progress in the epidemiology of air pollution, significant changes in international air pollution guidelines, and the emergence of more systematic approaches to air pollution control. While many of these advances have originated in affluent countries, there have been major developments in other parts of the world. In this book, a distinguished cast of leading researchers in both the scientific and policy dimensions of air pollution and health have synthesized the recent developments in the field and their relevance for public health in developing countries. The authors review studies from a wide range of Asian, African and Latin American countries and contrast the findings with those from Europe and North America. They also describe various tools and systems for air pollution management and emphasize approaches that can be used when data is scarce. With a clear focus on the scientific and technical aspects of air pollution and health, this book is essential reading for pollution and health policy-makers, researchers and others concerned with air pollution and health in developing countries.

Actionto fight thegrowingepidemicoftobacco-attributabledisease and death involves convincing the general public, the medical community and decision-makers ofthe need to act for tobacco control. The most efficient tools for helping individuals never to start or successfully to stop using tobacco should be developed; effective tobacco control endeavors are required to counteractthe actions ofthe powerful and influential tobacco manufacturers. With the help and under the aegis ofWHO, DICC, IUATLD, ISFC, IOCD, and IUHPE, an international alliance for health and against tobacco shouldunite all those who are engaged in this fight.

Abstract: Abstract of the thesis entitled An epidemiological study on the living environment, passive smoking and respiratory health of a cohort of children aged 3-6 years in Hong Kong submitted by CHUNG Siu Fung for the Degree of the Master of Philosophy at the University of Hong Kong. in March 1996 Objectives: To describe the health experience (with the focus on respiratory illnesses) of a cohort of children and to analyse the associations between the children's health and their living environment and exposure to passive smoking. Design: Cross-sectional study. Subjects: All the 3230 children born between April 1987 and June 1989 in Hong Kong who had participated in "A survey on breast-feeding and fertility in Hong Kong" in 1988-89 were eligible as subjects. From December 1992 to October 1993, when the children were aged 3-6 years, information of 2303 (71.3%) children were obtained from their parents who were interviewed by telephone. Results: The prevalence of diseases and health care utilization in the present study was quite comparable with those reported in other local studies. When compared with other places, the prevalence of health care utilization and most respiratory diseases and symptoms was not high. However, the cumulative prevalence of allergic rhinitis in Hong Kong was three times more than that in the UK, and was alarming with a prevalence of 17.3% in itself. Bad outdoor air quality in the living districts (i.e. respirable suspended particulates exceeded the Air Quality Objective) was significantly associated with the symptom "often had blocked or runny nose" in the previous twelve months (adjusted O.R.=1.31, 95% C.I. 1.06-1.60). Only among those children who lived in living quarters with an area of three hundred square feet or less, was incense burning in the living quarters significantlyassociated with the symptom "often had blocked or runny nose" (adjusted O.R.=1.61, 1.01-2.57) and with more than eight episodes of common cold (adjusted O.R.=1.62, 95% C.I. 1.05-2.50) in the previous twelve months. Grandparents smoking was significantly associated with the children's "often cough" (adjusted O.R.=1.81, 95% C.I. 1.08-3.06), doctor consultation for often cough/phlegm (adjusted O.R.=1.86, 95% C.I. 1.08-3.19) and common cold which usually lasted for more than six days in one episode (adjusted O.R.=1.64, 95% C.I. 1.05-2.57) in the previous twelve months. Other family members smoking was significantly associated with the children's ever having doctor diagnosed otitis media (adjusted O.R.=4.33, 95% C.I. 1.25-5.0), doctor consultation for respiratory problems in the previous thirty days (adjusted O.R.=2.04, 95% C.I. 1.05-3.93) and the children's health being perceived as 'not good' (adjusted O.R.=2.21, 95% C.1.1.11-4.44). Adverse effects of passive smoking were more likely to be found if the children lived in small living quarters. Among the children who lived in living quarters with an area of three hundred square feet or less, maternal, grandparents and other family members smoking were significant risk factors for some current respiratory symptoms. If they lived with two or more smokers or, in a family whose members smoked more than twenty cigarettes totally per day, when compared with those lived with no smokers, significant associations were found with most items of current respiratory symptoms. It was observed that adve

Download or read book Clinical Handbook of Air Pollution-Related Diseases written by Fabio Capello and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-02-21 with total page 677 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines in detail the clinical implications of those diseases that either are primarily triggered by air pollution or represent direct consequences of air pollutants. The aim is to provide medical practitioners with practical solutions to issues in diagnosis and treatment while simultaneously furnishing other interested parties with crucial information on the field. The book introduces the concept that air pollution-related diseases constitute a new class of pathologies. A wide range of conditions mainly attributable to air pollution are discussed, covering different body systems and pollution impacts in subsets of the population. In addition to presenting state of the art overviews of clinical aspects, the book carefully examines the implications of current knowledge for social and public health strategies aimed at disease prevention and prophylaxis. The Clinical Handbook of Air Pollution-Related Diseases will greatly assist doctors and healthcare workers when dealing with the consequences of air pollution in their everyday practice and will provide researchers, industry, and policymakers with valuable facts and insights.

Download or read book The Health Consequences of Involuntary Exposure to Tobacco Smoke written by and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 736 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Surgeon General's report returns to the topic of the health effects of involuntary exposure to tobacco smoke. The last comprehensive review of this evidence by the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) was in the 1986 Surgeon General's report, The Health Consequences of Involuntary Smoking, published 20 years ago this year. This new report updates the evidence of the harmful effects of involuntary exposure to tobacco smoke. This large body of research findings is captured in an accompanying dynamic database that profiles key epidemiologic findings, and allows the evidence on health effects of exposure to tobacco smoke to be synthesized and updated (following the format of the 2004 report, The Health Consequences of Smoking). The database enables users to explore the data and studies supporting the conclusions in the report. The database is available on the Web site of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) at http://www.cdc.gov/tobacco.
