低炭素社会による大気汚染物質濃度低減を介した健康へのインパクトの定量化手法の開発

1.我们与日本和马来西亚的研究人员合作，建立了一个重要的环境健康数据库，可以评估热带地区各种人为空气污染物以及天气因素对健康的影响。该数据库结合了每日入院记录、空气质量数据和天气变量，是了解研究地点向低碳社会过渡时环境健康变化的重要一步。2.在这项研究中，我们发现有证据表明空气颗粒污染物对心肺疾病有负面影响，这种关联是短期的，并根据当地气候随季节变化。除了减少温室气体的水平外，研究地点的排放控制预计也会导致空气颗粒物的水平降低，因此，健康影响也会降低。我们亦发表了一篇相关的文章，提出一个新的气溶胶模型，以模拟某些空气污染物的水平，其结果目前正用于预测未来的健康影响。

1.Our collaboration with researchers in Japan and Malaysia has enabled the creation of an important environmental health database that allows the assessment of health impacts associated with various anthropogenic air pollutants as well as weather factors in a tropical location. This database that combines daily hospital admission records, air quality data and weather variables is a substantial step towards understanding how environmental health changes as the study location transitions to a low carbon society.2.In this study, we found there was evidence that air particulate pollutant negatively affects cardiorespiratory diseases and that this association is short-term and varies seasonally according to local climate. Besides reducing the level of greenhouse gases, emission control in the study location is also expected to lead to a lower level of air particulate matter and because of this, lower health impacts.3.We have presented the preliminary findings of the current study at 2 international meetings. We have also published a related article that proposes a new aerosol model to simulate the level of certain air pollutants, the results of which are currently being used to predict future health impacts.
