项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): To better understand effects of climate change on children's health, we propose to: (1) Develop high-resolution spatial and temporal models that will enable us to estimate neighborhood-specific ground-level ozone and surface temperature levels, and (2) Link these estimated exposures to population-based data on childhood asthma hospitalizations and pediatric emergency department visits geo-coded to residential zip-code. We hypothesize that children are particularly vulnerable and that health effects of climate change will be magnified in socially disadvantaged communities. An impediment to previous study of these issues has been lack of high- resolution data on ozone and temperature levels. We propose to overcome this limitation by constructing spatially and temporally resolved estimates of surface temperature, heat index, and air pollution at the neighborhood level using rich datasets collected through atmospheric monitoring networks in New York City (NYC) and interpolated to the community level using sophisticated local climate models. This study builds upon the unique highly-spatially resolved data and analytic infrastructure of the NYC Community Air Survey and existing models to predict future temperature increases to examine the potential for climate change to produce varying impacts on health city-wide. No study has used such a highly spatially-resolved database as proposed here. Further, we employ a unique previously-compiled dataset of city-wide susceptibility indicators to understand community-level vulnerability to climate change by chronic stressors. Specific Aim 1: Develop fine-grained, neighborhood-specific, spatially and temporally resolved calculations of ground-level ozone and surface temperature levels in multiple, highly diverse communities across the five boroughs of NYC. Specific Aim 2: Conduct an epidemiologic analysis of child health outcomes in multiple, diverse NYC communities during warm summer weather. Results of this research will be shared with city agencies to inform near-term climate adaptation as well as ongoing efforts to incorporate climate risk information into long term plans concerning land use, infrastructure, and other climate change adaptation measures. This research will provide pilot data to larger projects currently being developed in Pittsburgh. Developing stronger methods to assess short-term intra-urban variation in temperature and air pollution on children's health outcomes will enable improved assessment of children's health in other cities as well as different vulnerable age groups in NYC.

描述(申请人提供)：为了更好地了解气候变化对儿童健康的影响，我们建议：(1)开发高分辨率的空间和时间模型，使我们能够估计社区特定的地面臭氧和地表温度水平，以及(2)将这些估计的暴露与儿童哮喘住院和儿科急诊科就诊的基于人口的数据联系起来，并根据住宅邮政编码进行地理编码。我们假设儿童特别容易受到伤害，气候变化对健康的影响将在社会弱势群体中被放大。以前对这些问题的研究的一个障碍是缺乏关于臭氧和温度水平的高分辨率数据。为了克服这一局限，我们建议使用纽约市(NYC)大气监测网络收集的丰富数据集，并使用复杂的当地气候模式将其内插到社区水平，从而构建对邻近地区地表温度、热量指数和空气污染的空间和时间分辨率估计。这项研究建立在纽约市社区空气调查的独特的高度空间分辨率的数据和分析基础设施以及现有模型的基础上，以预测未来气温上升，以检查气候变化对全市健康产生不同影响的可能性。没有一项研究像这里建议的那样使用过如此高空间分辨率的数据库。此外，我们使用了一个独特的先前汇编的全市易感性指标数据集，以了解社区层面因慢性应激源而对气候变化的脆弱性。具体目标1：对纽约市五个区多个高度多样化的社区的地面臭氧和地表温度水平进行细粒度、特定于社区、空间和时间分辨率的计算。具体目标2：在温暖的夏季天气期间，对纽约市多个不同社区的儿童健康结果进行流行病学分析。这项研究的结果将与城市机构分享，为近期气候适应以及正在进行的将气候风险信息纳入有关土地使用、基础设施和其他气候变化适应措施的长期计划的努力提供信息。这项研究将为匹兹堡目前正在开发的更大项目提供试点数据。开发更强有力的方法来评估城市内部温度和空气污染对儿童健康结果的短期变化，将有助于改进对其他城市以及纽约市不同脆弱年龄段的儿童健康的评估。
