“…These regulations can take the form of a ban on certain agents (Kuhlbusch et al, 2013), such as lead in gasoline; (Von Storch et al, 2003) or a technical requirement, such as three-way catalytic converters in cars (Farrauto & Heck, 1999;Merget & Rosner, 2001). There are also standards set by governmental agencies for levels of pollutants (Bell, Morgenstern, & Harrington, 2011).…”

“…Since the process of air pollution monitoring for capturing spatial variability is costly and time-consuming [24], it is highly desirable to find the air quality MND which can use an optimal number of measurement devices and reduce costs [25]. In general, the objective of air pollution monitoring network concerns spatial representativeness (i.e., siting criteria, including fixed or mobile sites and numbers of sites), temporal resolution, and accuracy of measurement [26].…”

Air Quality Monitoring Network Design Optimisation for Robust Land Use Regression Models

et al. 2018

A very common curb of epidemiological studies for understanding the impact of air pollution on health is the quality of exposure data available. Many epidemiological studies rely on empirical modelling techniques, such as land use regression (LUR), to evaluate ambient air exposure. Previous studies have located monitoring stations in an ad hoc fashion, favouring their placement in traffic "hot spots", or in areas deemed subjectively to be of interest to land use and population. However, ad-hoc placement of monitoring stations may lead to uninformed decisions for long-term exposure analysis. This paper introduces a systematic approach for identifying the location of air quality monitoring stations. It combines the flexibility of LUR with the ability to put weights on priority areas such as highly-populated regions, to minimise the spatial mean predictor error. Testing the approach over the study area has shown that it leads to a significant drop of the mean prediction error (99.87% without spatial weights; 99.94% with spatial weights in the study area). The results of this work can guide the selection of sites while expanding or creating air quality monitoring networks for robust LUR estimations with minimal prediction errors.

“…Cela peut notamment faire référence à une règlementation visant à interdire certains polluants dans l'ensemble de la ville (Jones, Harrison et al, 2012 ;Kuhlbusch, Quass et al, 2013) ou la mise en place d'une limitation du niveau d'émission pour tous les véhicules. Supposons, par exemple, une réduction de 5 µg/m 3 de PM 2,5 sur tous les territoires.…”

Pollution Atmosphérique

RésuméLes effets sanitaires de la pollution atmosphérique ne sont pas distribués de manière homogène au sein des différents sous-groupes d'une population. De plus, il existe de forts contrastes vis-à-vis de l'exposition aux différents polluants atmosphériques. Cet article vise, dans un premier temps, à introduire la question des inégalités environnementales en lien avec la pollution atmosphérique. En parallèle, de nombreuses politiques publiques existent pour réduire les émissions de polluants atmosphériques. Dans un second temps, cet article vise à introduire la notion d'équité dans la distribution des effets d'une politique. Enfin, nous proposons une explication des mécanismes possibles sur l'effet d'une politique publique vis-à-vis de l'augmentation ou de la réduction des inégalités de santé, en utilisant un exemple lié à la réduction des émissions liées au trafic.
