Human biomonitoring (HBM) data in Europe are often fragmented and collected different EU countries sampling periods. Exposure levels for children adult women were evaluated over time. For the period 2000–2010, literature aggregated a harmonized way across studies. Between 2011–2012, biobanked samples from DEMOCOPHES project used. 2014–2021, HBM generated within HBM4EU Aligned Studies. Time patterns on internal exposure visually statistically using 50th 90th percentiles (P50/P90)...
Aim: The Ostrava region suffers from high levels of air pollution during winter inversions. We investigated the association between short-term elevations pollutant concentrations and worsening respiratory problems, use asthma medication restriction daily activities in asthmatic patients Ostrava. Methods: One-hundred forty-seven child adolescent (aged 6-18 years) with a confirmed diagnosis mild to moderate persistent were included study. Participants' parents completed diaries covering period...
The study investigated the associations between prevalence of childhood respiratory diseases and long-term exposure to air pollution in burdened area Moravian–Silesian Region Czech Republic. health data were collected during 2014 7,239 children 5, 9, 13 17 years age. Exposure PM10 NO2 residence addresses was based on dispersion models GIS traffic-related indicators. levels positively associated with both lifetime (OR 1.35; 95%CI 1.09–1.67) current 1.32; 1.05–1.67) allergic rhinitis; asthma...
Phthalates are mainly used as plasticizers and associated inter alia with adverse effects on reproductive functions. While more national programs in Europe have started monitoring internal exposure to phthalates its substitute 1,2-Cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid (DINCH), the comparability of results from such existing human biomonitoring (HBM) studies across is challenging. They differ widely time periods, study samples, degree geographical coverage, design, analytical methodology, biomarker...
Noise is one of the most extensive environmental factors affecting general population. The present study focused on association between discomfort caused by noise and incidence certain diseases (ischaemic heart disease, stroke hypertension).This cross-sectional questionnaire study, conducted in 10 cities Czech Republic, comprises two stages with 3592 obtained questionnaires first phase 762 second phase. Twelve variables describe subjective responses to from different sources at times day....
Objectives: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are a large group of persistent synthetic chemicals widely used commercially. They accumulate increasingly in all environmental components enter the organisms, including humans. Some them associated with risk harm to health, among others metabolic disorders. To test associations between blood serum levels PFASs lipid profile as well syndrome, we linked human biomonitoring Czech Health Examination Survey (CZ-EHES) conducted 2019....
Nejvýznamnějším zdravotním dopadem dlouhodobé expozice jemným aerosolovým částicím v ovzduší je předčasná úmrtnost a snižování naděje dožití. Pokusili jsme se přispět k odhadu počtu ztracených let života (YLL) zkrácení dožití důsledku obyvatel Česka částicím. Využili tomu imisní databázi vedenou rámci Systému monitorování zdravotního stavu obyvatelstva ČR ve vztahu životnímu prostředí Státním ústavu. Výpočet byl proveden pro dva scénáře: stávající situaci srovnání s hladinou přirozeného...
SAA5-O-07 Background and Objective: The 4th Ministerial Conference on Environment Health adopted the Children's Action Plan in 2004. aim of regional priority goal III is to prevent reduce respiratory diseases due outdoor air pollution, frequency asthmatic attacks. objective this study was estimate potential benefits terms childhood deaths morbidity that could be prevented by improving ambient quality Central-Eastern European cities Apheis network participating ENHIS programme. Methods:...
P-003 Introduction: The proposed new European Directive on ambient air quality has generated debate regarding the establishment of appropriate PM2.5 values. An annual average concentration 25 μg/m3 by 2015 been proposed. This study estimates potential benefits in deaths that could be prevented, reducing levels to 25, 20, 15 and 12 respectively. Methods: Population data, total mean concentrations PM10 from 28 cities APHEIS network for 2001 or 2002 were used. Health Impact Assessment (HIA)...
Výskyt respiračních onemocnění u dětí v Moravskoslezském kraji (Česká republika) byl sledován Státním zdravotním ústavem roce 2015. Studie proběhla ve spolupráci se 73 praktickými lékaři pro děti a dorost 18 městech kraje. Soubor tvořilo 7 519 věku 5, 9, 13 17 let. Prevalence lékařem diagnostikovaných alergických byla 29,5 %, astmatu 11,2 %. jsme srovnávali s výsledky celostátního monitoringu alergií z roku 2016. Pravděpodobnost výskytu alergie je prezentována formou Odds Ratio (OR, poměr...
Podle výsledků několika etap šetření respiračního zdraví českých dětí prováděných v rámci Systému monitorování zdravotního stavu obyvatelstva ČR minulých dvou dekádách je Moravskoslezském kraji (MSK) prevalence respiračních alergií, opakovaných zánětů dýchacích cest i nespecifických symptomů vyšší, než republikový průměr. Vzhledem ke zvýšenému znečištění ovzduší ve velké části tohoto kraje bylo naším cílem potvrdit předpoklad, že alergických onemocnění a obtíží souvisí s prostorově...
Přehledový článek shrnuje výsledky českého lidského biomonitoringu za téměř tři dekády své existence. Národní biologický monitoring byl ve Státním zdravotním ústavu v Praze uveden do činnosti roce 1994 rámci Systému monitorování zdravotního stavu obyvatelstva České republiky vztahu k životnímu prostředí, aby posléze navázán na evropské a světové odborné aktivity této oblasti. V jeho průběhu byla sledována celá škála organických i anorganických xenobiotik esenciálních látek krvi, moči vlasech...
ISEE-305 Objective: ETS is probably one of the most important indoor pollutants, especially for young children exposed in their homes. Epidemiologic evidence pointed to a causal relationship between asthma episodes and exposure several studies. In this context, project Implementing Environment Health Information System Europe (ENHIS) analyzed impact on up 14 years age set 18 European countries. Material Methods: The recent meta-analysis (US Surgeon General, 2006) provided an odds ratio 1.23...
P-563 Introduction: The project “Implementing Environment and Health Information System in Europe” (ENHIS) explored methods to conduct a Impact Assessment (HIA) the context of first Children's Action Plan for Europe Regional Priority Goal: water sanitation. This study obtained information on drinking-water (DW) data availability HIA purposes countries involved ENHIS project.
