Urban outdoor air pollution, especially particulate matter, remains a major environmental health problem in Skopje, the capital of former Yugoslav Republic Macedonia. Despite documented high levels pollution city, published evidence on its impacts is as yet scarce.we obtained, cleaned, and validated Particulate Matter (PM) concentration data from five quality monitoring stations Skopje metropolitan area, applied relevant concentration-response functions, evaluated against two theoretical...
Left unabated, climate change will have catastrophic effects on the health of present and future generations. Such are already seen in Europe, through more frequent severe extreme weather events, alterations to water food systems, changes environmental suitability for infectious diseases. As one largest current historical contributors greenhouse gases provider financing mitigation adaptation, Europe's response is crucial, both human planet. To ensure that wellbeing protected this it...
Under future warming conditions, high ambient temperatures will have a significant impact on population health in Europe. The aim of this paper is to quantify the possible heat mortality European countries, under different climate change scenarios. We combined heat-mortality function estimated from historical data with meteorological projections for time laps 2035-2064 and 2071-2099, developed Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP) 4.5 8.5. calculated attributable deaths (AD) at country...
Information about airborne pollen concentrations is required by a range of end users, particularly from the health sector who use both observations and forecasts to diagnose treat allergic patients. Manual methods are standard for such measurements but, despite taxa that can be identified, these techniques suffer drawbacks. This includes being available at low temporal resolution (usually daily averages) with delay 3-9 days measurement). Recent technological developments have made possible...
Excessive summer heat is a serious environmental health problem in several European cities. Heat-related mortality and morbidity likely to increase under climate change scenarios without adequate prevention based on locally relevant evidence.We modelled the urban of Antwerp for season during period 1986-2015, projected daily temperatures two periods, one near (2026-2045) far future (2081-2100), Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 8.5. We then analysed relationship between temperature...
Excessive summer heat is a serious environmental health problem in Skopje, the capital and largest city of former Yugoslav Republic Macedonia. This paper attempts to forecast impact on mortality Skopje two future periods under climate change compare it with historical baseline period. After ascertaining relationship between daily mean ambient air temperature we modelled evolution temperatures Representative Concentration Pathway scenario (RCP8.5) population time periods: 2026–2045 2081–2100,...
The evidence of observed health effects as well projections future risks from climate variability and change is growing. This article summarizes new knowledge on these generated since the IPCC fourth assessment report (AR4) was published in 2007, with a specific focus 53 countries comprising WHO European Region. Many studies weather, variability, Region have been increasing level certainty regard to already known threats. Exposures temperature extremes, floods, storms, wildfires...
This study assesses the relationship between daily numbers of deaths and variations in ambient temperature within city Skopje, R. Macedonia.The number from all causes, during period 1996-2000, as well those cardiovascular diseases, occurring Skopje were related to average on same day using Multiple Regression statistical analyses. Temperature was measured regression model two complementary variables: 'Warm' 'Cold'. Excess winter mortality calculated (deaths December March) minus non-winter...
This paper seeks to demonstrate that the value of climate projection information can be used derive quantitative estimates both costs and benefits information-based measures introduced reduce climate-related risks. Specifically, relating longer term change weather variability are combined identify potential resource implications for health service planning when faced with higher frequencies heatwaves. A range projection-city combinations explored in order test robustness economic...
Western Balkan countries (WBCs) have a long-standing culinary tradition. The promotion of traditional foods may be tool for coping with modernisation trends in such transition economies. This paper explores consumer preferences toward food this region, focusing on fresh cow cheese locally called 'Mladi Sir'. product was quoted all the preliminary focus groups as common present six WBCs studied: Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia and Slovenia.After literature review...
Projected climatic changes for the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia period 2025-2100 will be most intense in warmest year with more frequent and heat-waves, droughts flood events compared 1961-1990. The country has examined their vulnerabilities to climate change many public health impacts have been projected. A variety qualitative quantitative methodologies were used assessment: literature reviews, interviews, focus groups, time series regression analysis, damage adaptation cost...
Environmental Noise and Annoyance in Adult Population of Skopje: A Cross-Sectional Study The aim this study was to identify noise exposure indicators during day night the city Skopje see if there is an association between these annoyance. We have performed measurements interviewed 510 adult subjects, using a questionnaire, prepared according ISO/TS-15666 standard. Average level over (L ) (62±6.45) dB(A) (56±6.52) dB(A). Thirteen percent subjects reported high level, 33.5% moderate most...
