Description: Das Projekt "Verteilung der Exposition gegenueber Luftschadstoffen von erwachsenen urbanen Bevoelkerungsgruppen in Europa" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von Universität Basel, Institut für Sozial- und Präventivmedizin durchgeführt. Objective: EXPOLIS (Air Pollution Exposure Distributions within Adult Urban Populations in Europe) - study focuses on working age urban populations in Europe, exposed to air pollutants in their homes, workplaces and other common urban microenvironments (streets, shopping, etc.), and commuting between them. The urban areas selected for EXPOLIS-study are Athens, Basel, Grenoble, Helsinki, Milan and Prague. The objectives of the EXPOLIS-study are: - To measure the distributions of exposures of European adult urban populations to major air pollutants. - To analyse the personal, indoor and outdoor environmental, and communal determinants of these exposures. - To develop a probabilistic simulation technique for predicting air pollution exposure distributions in defined subpopulations and/or alternative exposure scenarios. General Information: Introduction. After recent epidemiological investigations air pollution, especially PM10 is estimated to annually increase respiratory and cardiovascular mortality by tens of thousands of cases in Europe and significantly reduce the length of life in populations. The health effects of air pollutants are not caused by their levels at fixed outdoor monitoring sites, but instead by the personal exposures of the affected individuals in their daily activities. Methods: These objectives are pursued by measuring for 48 hours the personal exposures, home indoor and outdoor and workplace micro environmental levels of inhalable particulate matter (PM2.5), volatile organic compounds (VOC), and carbon monoxide (CO); of approximately 500 randomly selected individuals between 25 and 55 years of age. This data is used to determine: -frequency distributions of the air pollution exposures of the populations, -distributions of the timing and times spent by the populations in different microenvironments (TAD measurements) and by analysis of, -the roles of the geographic, housing, occupation and commuting related, behavioural and socio-economic determinants of air pollution exposures, and - the roles of different air pollution sources in the air pollution exposures, to develop - European databases for simulation of air pollution exposures of the urban populations and subpopulations in alternative future exposure scenarios by a probabilistic simulation technique.
