Exposure to road-traffic noise commonly engenders annoyance, the extent of which is determined by factors not fully understood. Our aim was estimate prevalence and determinants annoyance sensitivity in Finnish adult population, while comparing perceptions exhausts as environmental health problems. Using a questionnaire that yielded responses from 1112 randomly selected respondents, we estimated noise- exhausts-related perceived exposures, health-risk perceptions, self-reported on five-point...
Melulla on haitallisia vaikutuksia terveyteen ja hyvinvointiin. Meluherkkyys kuvaa yksilöllistä tapaa kokea melu herkkyyttä reagoida siihen. Ympäristömelu yksi keskeisimmistä ympäristöterveysongelmista, suurin osa siitä aiheutuu liikenteestä. Tämän tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli selvittää, miten suomalaiset ovat jakautuneet meluherkkyyden suhteen meluherkkyys yhteydessä liikennemelun kokemiseen. Tutkittavat poimittiin satunnaisesti suomenkielisistä Manner-Suomessa asuvista 25–74-vuotiaista...
Poor indoor air quality (IAQ) in schools is related to increased symptom reporting students. We investigated whether parental worry about school IAQ influences this association. Data came from survey collected five Finnish primary with observed problems and control schools. Parents (n = 1868) of students reported symptoms their children. Associations between problems, worry, scores (ie, respiratory, lower eye, skin, general symptoms) were analyzed using multivariate logistic regression...
Abstract Background The associations between indoor environmental quality (IEQ) in homes and symptom reporting of children have been extensively studied, but only few large-scale studies done schools. We examined expert-assessed IEQ schools pupils’ different symptoms, whether were stronger if participants relate symptoms to the school environment. Methods questionnaire survey was all primary secondary two areas Helsinki, Finland. Primary pupils (grade 3–6, n = 8775, 99 school-buildings) 7–9,...
Questionnaires on symptoms and perceived quality of indoor environment are used to assess problems, but mainly among adults. The aim this article was explore best ways analyze report such symptom data, as part a project develop parent-administered air questionnaire for primary school pupils. Indoor with 25 questions child's in the last 4 weeks sent parents five schools problems control schools. About 83% (N=1470) case 82% (N=805) returned questionnaire. In two schools, 351 (52%) answered...
Objectives Poor indoor environmental quality (IEQ) in schools is related to higher respiratory symptoms of pupils, but little known about the importance other factors. This study examined associations between different psychosocial factors and pupils’ individual allergic characteristics, beyond school IEQ, reporting pupil-administered parent-administered questionnaires. Setting All primary secondary two areas Helsinki, Finland. Participants Primary pupils (grade 3–6, n=8775, 99 buildings)...
Questionnaires can be used to assess perceived indoor air quality and symptoms in schools. for primary school aged children have traditionally been parent-administered, but self-administered questionnaires would easier administer may yield as good, if not better, information. Our aim was compare the repeatability of self- parent-administered designed pupils.Indoor questionnaire with questions on child's schools sent parents pupils 7-12 years two again after weeks. Slightly modified version...
Helteistä aiheutuu merkittävä terveysriski myös Suomessa erityisesti herkille väestöryhmille eli iäkkäille ja kroonisesti sairaille. Maailman terveysjärjestö (WHO) on suosittanut, että kaikissa Euroopan maissa otettaisiin käyttöön helteestä aiheutuvien terveyshaittojen ehkäisemiseen tähtäävä toimintasuunnitelma. tämänkaltaista suunnitelmaa ei vielä ole. Etenkin sosiaali- terveydenhuollon yksiköissä, joiden asiakaskunta koostuu helteille erityisen alttiista väestöryhmistä, tulisi helteistä...
This article was designed to give insight into the role of biotechnology in redefining complex human-animal relations our times. In particular, it is used examine accounts nonhuman animals and animal usage context biotechnology, as covered leading scientific journal Nature Biotechnology . Data consist editorials, commentaries, research news for four years ( N = 104), has been analyzed using discourse analysis. The constructs a consistent, yet one-sided, view on they are represented through...
The health effects of particulate matter, increasing emissions from transportation and requisites for making use biofuels brings up the need to understand how individuals interpret air-pollution-related risks wood burning traffic. We aim clarify extent which perceived road-traffic wood-smoke can be explained by individual psychological, social status-related socio-institutional factors in case two Northern European countries, Finland Estonia.
