The COVID-19 pandemic has brought a renewed interest in urban environment and healthy living the changes environments which can make for healthier living. Today, more than 50% of global population lives areas, Europe number is 75%. We present narrative review to explore considerations necessary requirements achieve health well-being within strategies design planning whilst rethinking spaces post-COVID-19 carbon-neutral future. achievement demands strategies, namely, (1) moving from concept...
HIV testing plays a critical role in preventing the spread of virus and identifying infected individuals need care. Voluntary counseling centers (VCTs) not only conduct but they also provide counseling. Since proportion people who test negative for on their previous visit will return retesting, frequency retesting characteristics those retest may insights into efficacy strategies. In this cross-sectional, retrospective study 1,482 VCT clients Croatia 2010, 44.3% had been tested before. The...
Background and aims: Climate change affects our societies lives through economies, livelihoods, health. Economic losses of climate are estimated at $23 trillion, largely externalities due to premature mortality, healthcare expenditure, health-related work losses. Even if there established methods quantify the health economic burden, is limited information on how people perceive this information. The current study aimed examine different cost evaluation observe perceptions stakeholders in...
Ambient air pollution is one of eight global risk factors for deaths and accounts 38.44 all causes death rates attributable to ambient PM pollution, while in Bosnia Herzegovina, it 58.37. We have estimated health endpoints possible gains if two policy scenarios were implemented reduction achieved. Real-world recorded data 2018 used assessing the impacts gains. Calculations performed with WHO AirQ+ software against cut-off levels at country-legal values quality recommendations. PM2.5...
In this study, two different air quality impact assessment methodologies were adopted and combined with a sensitivity analysis to estimate the unit costs. Air pollution health (mortality) was carried out using one methodology based on log-linear concentration response functions (CRF) another relying integrated exposure curve (IER) from Global Burden of Disease. Morbidity impacts estimated CRF approach only. To assess inequalities between low high income countries, an area low-medium...
Abstract In 2019, 21.1 % of the EU-27 population were at risk poverty or social exclusion. Energy is one many forms and it a widespread problem across Europe, as between 50 125 million people are unable to afford proper indoor thermal comfort. linked low household income, high energy costs inefficient homes. These challenges deeply connected with SDG7 SDG1, also produce environmental pollution. The roots in polluting fuels that cheapest hand (risk of) poverty. Biomass heating use old stoves...
Abstract Background Western Balkan region holds coal power plants that are old, inefficient and substandard. In 2016, the region’s 16 emitted more SO2 than entire 250 European plants. this study we modelled transboundary nature of air pollution affecting EU. Methods We calculated health impacts costs from by following steps: (1) Identify in Balkans 2016; (2) Source 2016 plant emissions data; (3) Model pollutant exposure resulting plants; (4) Calculate associated with exposures; (5) Attribute...
Abstract Poor air quality is responsible for increased risk of mortality which global cost in 2019 was associated with 4.1 million premature deaths globally. The Western Balkans were selected this study because the levels particulate matter and ozone are frequently above EU Air Quality Directive guidelines. pollution health impact (mortality morbidity) assessment carried out using attributable fraction approach based on different relative attribution methodologies: concentration response...
Abstract The EU Green Deal is the framework to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, and decarbonisation sustainability in main economic sectors. This includes a revised greenhouse gas reductions goal of at least 55% for 2030, as well commitments on zero pollution, healthier agricultural production, sustainable mobility energy. Moreover, part Deal, European Commission has established Just Transition Mechanism (JTM), ensure that transition towards climate-neutral economy happens fair way,...
Abstract Nature deprivation under COVID-19 lead to reduced well-being. Urban design interventions were also identified as an important contributor the restoration of community confidence, choice, and safety. Factors related sociodemographic, housing lockdown linked changes in exposure nature during pandemic lockdown. Changes mental health outcomes strongly linked. Especially young people had increased number problems. Children youth more bored worried comparison with pre-pandemic period. The...
Abstract The current pandemic reinforced inequalities and injustice on multiple levels: health, social, especially urban environment. Cities represent human prosperity wealth, but also inequity, health detrimental environments lacking green spaces sufficiently good air quality, transportation, water supply. Emergencies like COVID-19 pandemic, other natural disasters earthquake humanitarian crisis have brought a renewed interest in the environment healthy living. With special circumstances,...
Abstract In Europe, over 70% of the population lives in urban areas. Cities promote innovation and wealth creation; however, they are also a main source pollution, disease mortality, to some extent linked with suboptimal transport planning practices. The aim project is improve estimation health impacts socioeconomic costs environmental stressors related planning, advance modelling approaches strengthen evidence-based policy-making. analyses focus on air noise, temperature/heat lack green...
