“…The city is part of the Suzhou-Wuxi-Changzhou metropolitan area, and by the year 2010, there were approximately 4 million residents in five urban districts (Tianning district, Wujin district, Jintan district, Xinbei district and Liyang city). 20 Moreover, because of the rapid industrialisation and economic development of the past years, Changzhou is now experiencing severe air pollution. The concentrations of several air pollutants (such as PM 2.5 , PM 10 , SO 2 and NO 2 ) were equal or higher than the national ambient air quality in the recent years.…”

ObjectiveTo investigate the acute effect of air pollutants on ischaemic stroke (IS) and IS-related death.SettingFive urban districts in Changzhou, China, between 9 January 2015 and 31 December 2016.ParticipantsA total of 32 840 IS cases and 4028 IS deaths were enrolled.Main outcome measuresA time-series design, generalised additive model and multivariable regression model were used to examine the percentage change (95% CI) in daily IS counts and deaths with an IQR increase in air pollutant levels for different single or multiple lag days in single-pollutant and two-pollutant models.ResultsDaily IS counts increased 0.208% (95% CI 0.036% to 0.381%) with an IQR increment in the levels of nitrogen dioxide (NO2). The estimated risk of NO2 was more robust in males and in the cold season. For daily IS counts, the estimated effects of NO2 and sulfur dioxide (SO2) were more significant when adjusted for particulate matter with aerodynamic diameters <2.5 µm (PM2.5) and PM10. An IQR increment in the concentration of PM10, SO2 and NO2 significantly increased IS deaths with 6 days of cumulative effects (0.268%, 95% CI 0.007% to 1.528%; 0.34%, 0.088% to 0.592%; and 0.263%, 0.004% to 0.522%, respectively). Young individuals (<65 years old) had a higher IS mortality risk for PM2.5, PM10, NO2 and CO. For IS death, the effect estimates of SO2 in the elderly, females and the cold season were more pronounced; statistical significance was also identified for SO2 when adjusted for carbon monoxide (CO).ConclusionsThis study suggested that short-term exposure to ambient NO2 was associated with increased IS risk. In addition, SO2 was associated with increased IS onset and death.

“…Water production: Only in the MBR is water (50 m 3 /cap/y; Table 5) produced that is directly safe for irrigation, greening ( Kerstens et al, 2009b) or as a source for drinking water production (Cikarang Estate, 2014). The feasibility of reusing this water depends, among others, on the distance to agricultural land or reservoirs and user acceptance.…”

“…In addition, energy consuming wastewater processes (e.g. aerobic technologies) may be combined with energy producing (anaerobic) solid waste or wastewater treatment processes resulting in net energy producing systems Kujawa-Roeleveld and Zeeman, 2006;Kerstens et al, 2009b). Insights into potential synergy for the treatment of wastewater and solid waste flows may thus result in more favorable financial feasibility and consequently accelerate sanitation development.…”

Ambient air pollution had been shown strongly associated with cardiovascular diseases. However, the association between air pollution and myocardial infarction (MI) is inconsistent. In the present study, we conducted a time-series study to investigate the association between air pollution and MI. Daily air pollutants, weather data, and MI data were collected from January 2015 to December 2016 in Changzhou, China. Generalized linear model (GLM) was used to assess the immediate effects of air pollutants (PM, PM, NO, SO, and O) on MI. We identified a total of 5545 cases for MI, and a 10-μg/m increment in concentrations of PM and PM was associated with respective increases of 1.636% (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.537-2.740%) and 0.805% (95% CI 0.037-1.574%) for daily MI with 2-day cumulative effects. The associations were more robust among males and in the warm season versus the cold one. No significant effect was found in SO, NO, or O. This study suggested that short-term exposure to PM and PM was associated with the increased MI risks. Our results might be useful for the primary prevention of MI exacerbated by air pollutants.
