Which pollutants have an impact on health?
8
Particulate matter has long been recognized as
having a strong impact on human health, from
physiological changes to premature mortality
The evidence has shown smaller size particles to be
more toxic
Ozone has long been shown to have irritant and
oxidant properties, and only recently (~2005) its
impact on premature mortality has been recognized.
BC health effects 9
BC is part of PM2.5. But does it has a different
impact on mortality
Modest, but growing, volume of literature on the
effects of BC:
Maynard et al., 2007: acute mortality effects of
exposure to BC in homes) , twice as big as PM2.5’s.
Tonne et al., 2009: increased incidence of heart
attacks
Indirect evidence on BC-mortality association
10
In relation to PM2.5, BC was more strongly associated with:
blood pressure (Lundback et al., 2009; Mordukhovich et al., 2009; Zanobetti et al., 2004)
markers of the thickening of artery walls (atherosclerosis) (Madrigano et al., 2009; Park et al., 2008; Hansen et al., 2007)
electrocardiogram changes that are risk factors for arrhythmia (abnormal electrical activity of the heart) (Zanobetti et al., 2009)
electrocardiogram changes that are risk factors for ischemia (restriction in blood supply) (Chuang et al., 2008; Gold et al., 2005)
changes in DNA methylation (Baccarelli et al., 2009).
Household BC vs Diesel BC 11
BC is a surrogate for all particle mass that comes from diesel in one instance, and from household combustion in the other, and the fellow traveller particles are different in each case.
So it is important to ask separately about the evidence for household derived BC. Here the evidence is weaker…
…although it is clear that biomass combustion increases the risk of respiratory disease (Samuelsen et al., 2008; Dherani et al., 2008; Smith et al., 2000; Lipsett et al., 1997).
Recently, a randomized trial of a chimney stove intervention in Guatemala was shown to reduce blood pressure (McCracken et al., 2007). Since blood pressure is a major risk factor for cardiovascular mortality, this provides support for the association of BC from such combustion and mortality.
BC mortality risk 12
Given that :
traffic related BC is more toxic than average
and the weaker evidence on the relative toxicity of
biomass particles
It was assumed that BC particles have the same risk
as PM2.5 (average risk)
Scope 13
Health impacts in 2030 due to the change in PM2.5
and O3 concentrations projected in 2030 relative to
2005 concentrations based on the reference scenario.
Change in ambient concentrations simulated by two
models: GISS-PUCCINI and ECHAM-HAMMOZ
Endpoints considered:
PM : cardiopulmonary mortality and lung cancer
O3 : respiratory mortality
Years of life lost (YLL) calculated based on current
life expectancies.
Scope 14
Outdoor air pollution
PM2.5 and O3 considered.
Unit risk from EPA’s expert elicitation: 1.06% per
ug/m3 PM2.5 (1.8x ACS risk). Linear function.
Indoor Air Pollution
To be conservative, only respiratory mortality
considered
Only India and China considered due to data
limitations
Results 15
17
Change in annual PM2.5 cardiopulmonary and lung cancer and O3
respiratory mortality (lives per 1 000 km2) in 2030 relative to
2005 for the reference scenario.
18
Premature mortality (millions of premature deaths annually) by
region, showing the change in 2030 in comparison with 2005
Cobenefits of Climate Mitigation Actions in Chile 19
1. Although Chile has not formal mitigation
commitment, in Copenhagen it pledged a
voluntary reduction of 10% + 10%
2. What are the costs of this pledge?
3. What are the public health benefits of it?
Enery consumption is rapidly growing
