Deprived communities in many cities are exposed to higher levels of outdoor air pollution, and there is increasing evidence similar disparities for indoor pollution exposure. There a need understand the drivers this exposure disparity order develop effective interventions aimed at improving population health reducing inequities. With focus on London, UK, paper assembles examine why PM<sub>2.5</sub>, NO<sub>x</sub> CO may disproportionately impact low-income groups. In particular, five...
Recent advances in citizen weather station (CWS) networks, with data accessible via crowd-sourcing, provide relevant climatic information to urban scientists and decision makers. In particular, CWS can long-term measurements of heat valuable on spatio-temporal heterogeneity related horizontal advection. this study, we make the first compilation a quasi-climatologic dataset covering six years (2015-2020) hourly near-surface air temperature obtained 1560 suitable domain south-east England...
Rising global temperatures and more frequent heatwaves due to climate change have led a growing body of research increased policy focus on how protect against the adverse effects heat. In cold temperate Europe, dwellings traditionally been designed for protection rather than heat mitigation. There is, therefore, need understand mechanisms through which indoor overheating can occur, its occupants energy consumption, we design, adapt, operate buildings during warm weather improve thermal...
Here we describe the development of London Hybrid Exposure Model (LHEM), which calculates exposure Greater population to outdoor air pollution sources, in-buildings, in-vehicles, and outdoors, using survey data when where people spend their time. For comparison estimate misclassification compared Londoners LHEM with at residential address, a commonly used metric in epidemiological research. In 2011, mean annual sources was estimated be 37% lower for PM2.5 63% NO2 than address. These...
The potential levels of exposure to indoor overheating in an urban environment are assessed for vulnerable social housing residents. Particular focus is given the synergistic effects between summertime ventilation behaviour, temperature and air pollutant concentration relation energy retrofit climate change. Three different types investigated (1900s' low-rise, 1950s' mid-rise 1960s' high-rise). case study dwellings located Central London occupied by individuals (elderly and/or people...
A number of studies have estimated population exposure to PM2.5 by examining modeled or measured outdoor levels. However, few taken into account the mediating effects building characteristics on ingress from sources and its impact in indoor domestic environment. This study describes how simulation can be used determine concentration outdoor-sourced pollution for different housing typologies results mapped using stock models Geographical Information Systems software demonstrate modifying...
Management of the natural and built environments can help reduce health impacts climate change. This is particularly relevant in large cities where urban heat island makes warmer than surrounding areas. We investigate how vegetation, housing characteristics socio-economic factors modify association between exposure mortality a area.We linked 185,397 death records from Greater London area during May-Sept 2007-2016 to high resolution daily temperature dataset. then applied conditional logistic...
Critically ill patients frequently suffer muscle weakness whilst in critical care. Ultrasound can reliably track loss of size, but also quantifies the arrangement fascicles, known as architecture. We sought to measure both pennation angle and fascicle length, well tracking changes thickness a population critically patients.On days 1, 5 10 after admission care, was measured ventilated using bedside ultrasound. Elbow flexor compartment, medial head gastrocnemius vastus lateralis were...
BackgroundPolluting fuels and inefficient stove technologies are still a leading cause of premature deaths worldwide, particularly in low-income middle-income countries. Previous studies global household air pollution (HAP) have neither considered the estimation PM2·5 at national level nor corresponding attributable mortality burden. Additionally, effects climate ambient on HAP-PM2·5 exposure for different urban rural settings remain largely unknown. In this study, we include climatic to...
