Resumen
Este comentario aborda algunos de los temas de interés precise en relación con los efectos de la contaminación del aire sobre la salud, tales como las relaciones exposición-respuesta, latoxicidad y riesgos para la salud de las partículas inhaladas, las mezclas de contaminantes múltiples, la contaminación relacionada con el tráfico, la investigación sobre responsabilidad, y los problemas de susceptibilidad y vulnerabilidad. Considera los retos que se presentan a los investigadores que intentan proporcionar evidencia para los responsables políticos en estas cuestiones. Este texto acompaña otros trabajos con resultados del proyecto ESCALA, un estudio en varias ciudades de América Latina que tiene como objetivo common proporcionar resultados relevantes para la política pública. Aunque ha habido avances para mejorar la calidad del aire, gracias a la evidencia epidemiológica de que la contaminación aérea está afectando negativamente a la salud pública, las preguntas de investigación se han vuelto más sutiles y difíciles a medida que los niveles de contaminación se reducen. Se necesita más investigación, pero también nuevos métodos y enfoques capaces de enfrentar estas preguntas.

Critical analysis on the well being results of air air pollution dates to the Nineteen Fifties, following the London fog of 1952 and different air air pollution disasters.1,2 At the moment, the motivating concern was the menace to public well being of acute extra mortality throughout instances of very excessive air pollution. Whereas this concern persists for a lot of the world’s inhabitants residing within the rising variety of polluted megacities in low- and middle-income nations, air high quality management and modifications in business, motor automobiles,
energy vegetation, and different sources have significantly lowered air air pollution concentrations in lots of high-income nations. Nonetheless, even in these nations epidemiological research proceed to hyperlink present air air pollution ranges to danger for adversarial well being results, resulting in a necessity for ongoing analysis to supply proof for coverage formulation.3-5 Moreover, ranges of air air pollution are presently reaching harmful peaks in most of the megacities in Asia, and just lately lengthy unseen excessive ranges of air
air pollution had been measured in London and Paris.
This paper addresses the varied questions of present curiosity with regard to the well being results of air air pollution (desk I). It considers the challenges posed to researchers as they try to supply helpful proof for policy-makers related to those questions. Appropriately this commentary accompanies papers giving the outcomes from the ESCALA mission, a multi-city examine in Latin America that has an general purpose of offering policy-relevant outcomes.
Over the many years, epidemiologists addressing air air pollution and well being have confronted methodological challenges, ensuing primarily from the non-specificity of outcomes linked to air air pollution and the difficulties of publicity estimation. Due to this lack of specificity of the well being outcomes of curiosity, researchers have to
bear in mind the results of different elements that will additionally contribute to the prevalence of the measure(s) below examine. Such potential confounding is of concern for research on each short- and long-term time frames, apart from conditions with abrupt modifications in publicity –the London fog of 1952 representing an excessive instance– that decouple
potential confounders from publicity.6 There has already been substantial consideration of methodological points arising in epidemiological research of air air pollution.7-9 This manuscript describe ongoing challenges as epidemiologists search to handle subjects of best relevance to present coverage formulation
(desk I).
Publicity-response relationship
The type of the exposure-response relationship at ambient concentrations is essential to formulating insurance policies protecting of public well being (determine 1). Determine 1 presents a number of totally different exposure-response relationships which could result in totally different coverage decisions. For instance, the Clear Air Act in the USA requires nationwide requirements for main pollution that “… defend the general public well being with an enough margin of security.”10 If a threshold will be recognized
(determine 1, curve D), then a normal set beneath the purpose of inflection would meet the Clear Air Act necessities and the diploma of safety afforded would rely upon the focus at which the usual was set (determine 1). If dangers for a prone inhabitants comply with curve A, then a normal primarily based on curve B won’t adequately defend the prone group. For 2 main air pollution, particulate matter (PM) and ozone (O3), the proof for various outcomes has remained per a linear relationship with out threshold,4,11-16 resulting in regulatory methods in the USA that try to attenuate the burden of pollutant-attributable illness.17-19
The problem of describing exposure-response relationships at even decrease concentrations is apparent, reflecting the necessity for a sufficiently massive examine inhabitants, the results of publicity measurement error, and the potential for uncontrolled confounding. Massive pattern sizes are wanted, significantly within the setting of the inevitable misclassification of publicity to some extent. Measurement error has many sources and its penalties rely upon the underlying patterns of error. Typical “non-differential” measurement error diminishes the signal-to-noise ratio, making it harder to detect an impact. Additionally difficult is distinguishing various exposure-response relationships as in determine 1; curvi-linearity might also be of curiosity. Sturdy and versatile statistical strategies have been proposed for characterizing exposure-response relationships and for taking measurement error under consideration.20-25 For acquiring sufficiently massive pattern sizes, investigators have turned to massive health-care administrative databases and likewise pooled knowledge units from separate research.15,16,26,27
For instance, our crew at Johns Hopkins used nationwide databases for mortality and morbidity in time-series analyses, thereby maximizing pattern dimension and the potential to discover informative heterogeneity in impact estimates throughout the nation.7,26,28,29 The mortality analyses had been primarily based on knowledge for the 100 largest cities within the US, whereas the morbidity analyses used the information of the Medicare program, which covers most individuals 65 years and older. We additionally teamed with investigators in Canada and Europe to pool and analyze multi-countries time-series knowledge with a typical protocol, one purpose being evaluation of exposure-response relationships.4 Even analyses of such massive databases might go away uncertainty on the important thing coverage problems with the linearity of the exposure-response relationship and the presence of a threshold.
Sources and traits of particles and dangers to well being
Airborne particles have various sources and differ considerably over area and time in bodily and chemical traits. Most air high quality requirements for particulate matter use mass of airborne particles because the indicator, thus lumping all particles equally, no matter traits and sources. To maneuver from mass-based requirements in the direction of extra focused methods for administration of particulate matter air air pollution, proof is required that addresses whether or not explicit particle traits or sources of particles enhance the danger of inhaled particles. Over the past decade, motivated by this decision-making want, substantial analysis has been directed at this
subject.30 It was highlighted as pivotal within the sequence of studies from the US Nationwide Analysis Council’s Committee on Analysis Priorities for Airborne Particulate Matter.31,32
Analysis on this subject must kind via the varied well being results related to common indicators of particulate matter and the array of associated chemical and bodily traits. To sift via the various potential associations of danger for adversarial well being results with particulate matter traits, massive knowledge units are wanted, absent robust prior hypotheses. In the USA, the Environmental Safety Company (EPA) applied its Speciation Tendencies Community to supply a platform for analysis on this subject. The information had been organized by the Well being Results Institute (HEI) as a place to begin for planning analysis primarily based on this community (https://hei.aer.com).
Our crew at Johns Hopkins used these knowledge to handle parts of particulate matter and well being. Initially, we explored the information descriptively to characterize the extent of correlation among the many parts, given the frequent sources of lots of them. Bell and colleagues33 confirmed that many of the variation in mass from day after day
got here from a restricted variety of parts, implying that potential toxicity of some parts won’t be readily remoted from that of others. Additional analyses addressed associations of parts with hospitalization charges. The information on composition had been used to discover risk-determining traits of particulate matter, utilizing Medicare
hospitalization as the end result measure.34,35 The analyses recognized nickel, vanadium, elemental carbon, together with natural carbon matter as related to increased danger.36,37
These analyses, although primarily based in massive nationwide databases, lacked enough energy to disentangle the separate results of combination parts. Continued knowledge assortment will facilitate additional, extra highly effective analyses because the database grows. Ongoing assortment of particle traits is to be inspired to facilitate analysis. Growing
strong proof on the difficulty of particulate matter parts would require multidisciplinary approaches that mix epidemiology and toxicology.
Characterizing the dangers of multipollutant mixtures
The complexity of air pollution mixtures, significantly in city environments, has lengthy been acknowledged, as have the related challenges in characterizing the dangers to well being posed by mixtures. Sometimes, air pollution mixtures differ throughout city areas throughout the day, as site visitors and stationary sources differ, and spatially, reflecting the distribution of sources. Within the US and lots of different nations, rules and management methods have been directed at single pollution (e.g., the “standards” pollution within the US). The World Well being Group has additionally revealed tips for main outside pollution.5 Whereas this single pollutant technique has proved profitable up to now, there may be growing recognition of the necessity for multipollutant methods.32
Dominici and colleagues38 commented on the challenges of finishing up analysis directed at a number of pollution or on the toxicity of mixtures, moderately than making an attempt to isolate the results of explicit parts via design or evaluation. An preliminary requirement is the provision of knowledge on a number of parts which are related to
well being. As talked about, EPA’s Speciation Tendencies Community facilitates analysis on particulate matter traits. There aren’t, nevertheless, nationwide techniques in place in the USA or elsewhere that characterize atmospheric mixtures on an ongoing foundation. One method is to intensely monitor inside an outlined geographic space and to
examine dangers to well being of residents throughout the space in relation to temporal and spatial variation within the combination. This method was adopted within the ARIES examine (Aerosol Analysis and Inhalation Epidemiology Research) in Atlanta.39-42 A complete monitoring program for particulate matter and parts and gaseous pollution was established and varied community-level morbidity and mortality indicators had been tracked.
Concern in regards to the well being results of mixtures just isn’t new and the complexities of investigating the well being dangers of mixtures utilizing epidemiological and toxicological approaches have lengthy been acknowledged. Even assessing interactions between two parts of a combination has proved difficult.43 Nonetheless, analysis on mixtures is required to higher characterize these sources contributing to the continuing burden of morbidity and mortality related to city air air pollution.
Understanding the dangers of traffic-related air pollution
Over the past a number of many years, substantial proof has accrued linking publicity to air air pollution from site visitors with a variety of adversarial results.44 A scientific evaluation on the subject by the HEI reached the general conclusion that “…traffic-related emissions have an effect on ambient air high quality on a variety of spatial scales, from native roadsides and concrete scales to broadly regional background scales.“44 The evaluation additionally discovered enough proof to conclude that there’s a causal relationship of site visitors publicity with exacerbation of bronchial asthma. Proof was judged suggestive of causation for various different well being outcomes. The chance that publicity to traffic-related air air pollution harms public well being has doubtlessly profound and far-reaching implications for the design of cities and transportation planning45 Analysis on the subject must carry larger certainty to the proof, given these implications, and to reinforce understanding of how the combination of traffic-related pollution damages well being.
The principal problem to epidemiological analysis on site visitors lies in publicity characterization. Visitors-related air pollution contains a heterogeneous combination that varies in composition on transient time frames and over brief distances. Recent car emissions comprise immense numbers of small particles, 10-20 nanometers in aerodynamic
diameter at their formation; as distance from the roadway will increase, the particles shortly develop in dimension via agglomeration and alter in composition via lack of risky parts and chemical transformations.46 The exposures acquired indoors, presumably straight resulting in the related dangers, replicate additional modifications to the combination.
Analysis on site visitors continues, utilizing each epidemiologic and toxicologic approaches. Epidemiologists are utilizing modeling approaches to develop indicators of publicity at areas of residences; this method is possible however must be complemented by extra in-depth publicity characterization to generate the evidence-base for air high quality
administration.47,48 Toxicological approaches contain the publicity of animals to real-world site visitors air pollution, utilizing cellular publicity services. This line of investigation is beneficial for higher understanding mechanisms of harm.
Accountability analysis
Within the face of usually bettering air high quality in various nations, together with the USA, governments have been asking for estimation of the ensuing public well being beneficial properties. So-called “accountability analysis” has the target of characterizing such beneficial properties, whether or not from shorter-term or longer-term initiatives to enhance air high quality. A number of examples of such analysis are extensively cited: the research by Pope on the results of the interruption of the operation of a metal mill within the state of Utah in the USA49-51 and the monitoring of mortality in Dublin, Eire after which different cities in Eire after the implementation of a ban on coal burning.52,53 Such research of interventions, significantly if applied abruptly, have the potential to supply proof for a causal affiliation by decoupling the change in air air pollution from different elements that will confound the affiliation.
In 2003, the HEI revealed Communication 11, Assessing well being impression of air high quality rules: Ideas and strategies for accountability analysis.6 The monograph outlined the idea of accountability and accountability analysis; set the historic and regulatory context for its utility; thought of methodological
points; and provided a analysis agenda for accountability. Whereas not explicitly defining accountability, it provided a common framework, the “chain of accountability”, for contemplating accountability analysis and the implication of its findings (determine 2). The HEI additionally initiated a program of accountability analysis.
A evaluation of the ensuing research funded by HEI highlighted the potential limitations of accountability analysis, significantly for offering clear proof of advantages.54 Throughout a various portfolio of research, energy had proved to be a key limitation, significantly as interventions had led to smaller results than anticipated within the design of the accountability research. There was additionally a blurred distinction between analysis of interventions and analysis that will generate new and deeper understanding of air air pollution and well being. Suggestions for additional accountability analysis had been provided in a report of a workshop held by the HEI.53 The suggestions level to methodological wants in addition to refining these circumstances by which accountability analysis is likely to be thought of.
Susceptibility and vulnerability
Though usually used interchangeably, susceptibility and vulnerability needs to be thought of as distinct: susceptibility implies a larger danger for final result at any explicit degree of publicity whereas vulnerability refers to a larger probability of being uncovered or having increased publicity.55 With regard to susceptibility, genetic elements are a present focus however emphasis has lengthy been given to age (e.g., infants and youngsters, and the aged) and to underlying illness standing (e.g., bronchial asthma, continual obstructive pulmonary illness [COPD], and coronary coronary heart illness). For vulnerability, socioeconomic standing has been of curiosity. These with decrease earnings usually tend to stay close to level sources of air pollution and busy roadways and consequently to be uncovered to increased concentrations than the extra prosperous.56 This challenge of vulnerability
suits below the final idea of “environmental justice”.57
Now, there may be rising curiosity in genetic elements that will have an effect on susceptibility to air air pollution. The understanding of mechanisms by which air air pollution causes illness, reminiscent of oxidative harm and multistage carcinogenesis, supplies some insights as to genes that will decide susceptibility. Analysis has been directed at genes and the
respiratory58 and cardiovascular results59 of air air pollution. The AIRGENE Research, for instance, is a multi-center European examine addressing gene by setting (air air pollution) interactions and the oxidative response in survivors of a myocardial infarction.60 Gilliland has addressed the implications of genetic determinants of air air pollution results in kids with bronchial asthma; he feedback on the complicated scientific, public well being, and regulatory implications of genetically decided susceptibility to air air pollution within the massive inhabitants of kids with bronchial asthma.61
Susceptibility and vulnerability are thought of in setting air high quality requirements. The US Environmental Safety Company at all times considers susceptibility and
vulnerability in revising the Nationwide Ambient Air High quality Requirements (NAAQS), which cowl the main pollution. Susceptibility throughout the inhabitants wants consideration in setting focus limits for pollution in outside air. Vulnerability must be thought of in creating management methods.
Conclusions
Outstanding progress has been made in bettering air high quality in lots of cities and areas of the world. This progress has been pushed by epidemiological proof that air air pollution is adversely affecting public well being. Analysis questions have develop into extra delicate and difficult as ranges of air air pollution have dropped in some nations (desk I). Extra analysis continues to be wanted, however new strategies and approaches are required for the brand new questions. In these locations the place air air pollution concentrations exceed WHO tips, at instances many-fold, pressing motion is required to manage sources and to guarantee that the air pollution doesn’t worsen.
