TAILIEUCHUNG - THE GLOBAL BURDEN OF DISEASE DUE TO OUTDOOR AIR POLLUTION

In order to provide comparable estimates of exposure to outdoor air pollution for all 14 WHO regions, models developed by the World Bank were used to estimate concentrations of inhalable particles (PM10) (Pandey et al., 2004). Specifically, economic, meteorologic, and demographic data and available PM measurements in 304 cities were used to estimate PM10 levels in all 3211 cities worldwide with populations greater than 100,000 and capital cities. The estimated distribution of the world’s urban population and that of the urban population of each of the 14 regions are shown in Figure 1. To allow the most appropriate epidemiologic studies to be used for burden estimation, the PM10 estimates. | Page 1 Friday May 20 2005 9 31 PM Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health Part A 68 1-7 2005 Copyright Taylor Francis Inc.

Air pollution is associated with a broad spectrum of acute and chronic health effects the nature of which may vary with the pollutant constituents. Particulate air pollution is consistently and independently related to the most serious effects including lung cancer and other cardiopulmonary mortality. The analyses on which this report is based estimate that ambient air pollution in terms of fine particulate air pollution PM2 5 causes about 3 of mortality from cardiopulmonary disease about 5 of mortality from cancer of the trachea bronchus and lung and about 1 of mortality from acute respiratory .
