[AAS03-P10] Associations of fine particulate matter and health burdens in Handan city
キーワード:PM2.5 , ΔMort, YLL, integrated exposure-response model
The North China Plain (NCP) has been experiencing severe air pollution in recent decades and high levels of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) are related to different diseases. However, it is not clear the relationship between very high PM2.5 and human health outcomes as most studies are conducted in developed countries with lower concentrations. At the present study, the integrated exposure-response (IER) model was applied to estimate the health effects of exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in Handan city, China. The premature mortality(ΔMort), years of life lost (YLL), and mortality benefits due to PM2.5 reductions were quantified in 2015-2017. According to YLL per 1000 person, the males had higher health risks than females. Decreasing PM2.5 concentrations would lead to a significant reduction of premature mortality and YLL. This indicates that a more stringent measure adopted by Handan government would be needed to reduce fine particulate matter pollution and enhance the health benefits.
