  1. APHEIS Air Pollution and Health: A European Information System to Assess the Health Impact of Air Pollution Sylvia Medina, Antoni Placencia, Hans-Guido Mücke on behalf of the Apheis group WHO/EEA/JRC Workshop, 11/12 October 2004 in Berlin Federal Environmental Agency

  2. APHEIS (1999 – 2003) • co-funded project of EC DG Sanco ‚Pollution-Related Diseases Programme‘ • project built on the experiences and findings of the EC DG Research projects APHEA (1991-1994) / APHEA2 (1995-1998) Federal Environmental Agency

  3. APHEIS (1999 – 2003) • project aimed to create an epidemiological surveillance system of effects of air pollution (SO2, NO2, O3 and PM) on health • due to money constraints reduced to: particulate matter (TSP, BS, PM10/PM2.5) • network of environment and public-health professionals (16 centres totalling 26 cities in 12 European countries) Federal Environmental Agency

  4. APHEIS centres (1/2) • University of Athens, Athens, Greece • Institut Municipal de Salut Pública (Municipal Institute of Public Health), Barcelona, Spain • Departamento de Sanidad, Gobierno Vasco, Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain • Institutul de Sanatate Publica (Institute of Public Health), Bucharest, Romania • Jozsef Fodor National Center for Public Health, National Institute of Environmental Health, Budapest, Hungary • National Institute of Hygiene, Warsaw, Poland • Saint James Hospital, Dublin, Ireland • Institut de Veille Sanitaire, Saint-Maurice, France • Inštitut za Varovanje Zdravja RS, (Institute of Public Health), Ljubljana, Republic of Slovenia Federal Environmental Agency

  5. APHEIS centres (2/2) • Saint George’s Hospital Medical School, London, UK • Dirección General de Salud Pública, Consejeria de Sanidad, Comunidad de Madrid (Department of Public Health, Regional Ministry of Health, Madrid Regional Government), Madrid, Spain • ASL RM/E Local Health Authority Roma E, Rome, Italy • Escuela Andaluza de Salud Pública (Andalusia School of Public Health), Granada, Spain • Umeå University, Department of Public Health and Clinical Medicine, Umeå, Sweden • Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv, Israel • Escuela Valenciana de Estudios para la Salud (Valencia School of Health Studies), Valencia, Spain Federal Environmental Agency

  6. APHEIS - Network Federal Environmental Agency

  7. APHEIS-3 Health Impact Assessments – Use of PM data – • WHO/ECEH software AirQ 2.0 (2003) requires data over one calendar year: • PM10/PM2.5 data (24h mean values) and data of health effects Federal Environmental Agency

  22. APHEIS vs. AirBase SummaryHIA-relevant PM10 stations used in APHEIS 84 - stations not included in AirBase (26%) 22 stations in AirBase 62- stat. incl., but no PM10 data available 14stations with PM10 data (general) 48APHEIS stations with PM10 data in AirBase 24for the resp. calendar year 2000/01/02 (29%) Federal Environmental Agency

  23. Conclusion • APHEIS successfully built up an epidemiolog. surveillance network to assess health impacts of PM in 26 European cities (PM10: 21 cities) • Because at the moment AirBase provides only ~30% of PM10 data (24h mean values) of selected HIA-relevant APHEIS stations (n=84),epidemiol. projects, such APHEIS, still need to compile AP data directly from respective AQ networks for HIA calculations.
