  2. APHEIS Air Pollution and Health: A European Information System

  3. What is Apheis • Apheis programme created in 1999 • Air Pollution and Health: A European Information System • Aims to provide up-to-date and easy-to-use information on health impact assessment (HIA) of air pollution • For decision makers, environmental and health professionals, media and general public • Enables better-informed decisions about political, professional, personal issues

What methods did we use Network Health outcomes monitoring (local/national institutes of public health, EUROSTAT, WHO) Exposure assessment Quantitative relationships of exposure and health-effect estimates (local networks, European Env. Agency; WHO collaborating  centre for air quality control, Berlin; European Reference Laboratory Air Pollution, Ispra)  (APHEIS)  Health impact assessment (cases, population, attributable risks) (APHEIS, WHO-ECEH)  Dissemination of information for defined target audiences (APHEIS)    E&H professionals Decision makers Citizens  Air quality management/Public-health actions  Evaluation (European Commission)

  12. What methods did we use Network Participating APHEIS Cities APHEIS coordination centre Paris and Barcelona Local/regional coordinator Technical committee Exposure assessment Epidemiology Statistics Public Health Health Impact Assessment Advisory groups Exposure assessment Epidemiology Statistics Public health Health impact assessment City committee NEHAPs Local/national authorities Medical/environmental sciences Citizens

  13. Actions, steps and results during the first year • Created five advisory groups: public health; health-impact assessment; epidemiology; exposure assessment; statistics • Drafted guidelines for designing and implementing the surveillance system, and for developing a standardised protocol for data collection and analysis for HIA • Review of capacities for HIA in institutions of participating cities

  14. Actions, steps and results during the second year • Implement or adapt organisational models designed during first year • Collect and analyse data for health-impact assessment • Prepare different health-impact scenarios • Prepare HIA report in standardised format (HIA in 26 cities)

  15. On going actions during the third year • Disseminate HIA report in standardised format (HIA in 26 cities) • Update dose-exposure functions for HIA • Analyse data for obtaining estimates of air pollution impact on total respiratory admissions • Identify needs of the target public (decision makers, professionals,…)
