Exposition prolongée à la pollution atmosphérique et mortalité par pathologies respiratoires

Public Health impact could be quantified. The European E&H surveillance program Apheis, for example, estimated that if PM2.5 levels remained below 15 μg/m3, a 30 year old person could see his life expectancy increased by 1 month to 2 years, depending on the studied city. Finaly, mortality is not the only relevant indicator for health effects of air pollution. ISAAC studies address asthma, allergic rhinitis and eczema among children.
