Summary Environmental epidemiological studies of the health effects air pollution frequently utilize generalized additive model (GAM) as standard statistical methodology, considering ambient pollutants explanatory covariates. Although exposure to is multi-dimensional, majority these consider only a single pollutant covariate in GAM model. This restriction may be because variables do not have serial dependence but also interdependence between themselves. In an attempt convey more realistic...
ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE To analyze the association between fine particulate matter concentration in atmosphere and hospital care by acute respiratory diseases children. METHODS Ecological study, carried out region of Grande Vitória, Espírito Santo, winter (June 21 to September 21, 2013) summer (December 2013 March 19, 2014). We assessed data daily count for outpatient hospitalization (ICD-10) children from zero 12 years three hospitals Region Vitória. For collecting matter, we used portable...
OBJECTIVE To analyze the association between concentrations of air pollutants and admissions for respiratory causes in children. METHODS Ecological time series study. Daily figures hospital children aged < 6, daily (PM10, SO2, NO2, O3 CO) were analyzed Região da Grande Vitória, ES, Southeastern Brazil, from January 2005 to December 2010. For statistical analysis, two techniques combined: Poisson regression with generalized additive models principal model component analysis. Those analysis...
Residências construídas sem a orientação profissional adequada, conhecidas como autoconstruções, muitas vezes apresentam inconformidades que podem prejudicar qualidade do ar interno, contribuindo para o aumento da concentração de contaminantes microbiológicos no ar. O presente trabalho objetivou identificar relação entre os aspectos construtivos moradia e em um conjunto residências crianças asmáticas na cidade Vitória, Espírito Santo, Brasil. A metodologia incluiu levantamento físicos...
Three atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) schemes and two land surface models that are used in the Weather Research Forecasting (WRF) model, version 3.4.1, were evaluated with numerical simulations by using data from north coast of France (Dunkerque). The ABL YSU (Yonsei University), ACM2 (Asymmetric Convective Model 2), MYJ (Mellor–Yamada–Janjic) combined models, Noah RUC (Rapid Update Cycle), order to determine performances under sea-breeze conditions. Particular attention is given...
