“…Even with the adoption of measures that have been proven to effectively reduce traffic accidents (7,39,40), we found that traffic accidents still constitute the leading external cause of death among children in the countries evaluated and constitute the leading cause of morbidity in children worldwide (10), although traffic safety is commonly considered to be a transport issue rather than a public health issue (40). The WHO report includes data on overall mortality and corroborates the role of traffic accidents as the leading cause of death among children and adolescents (7).…”

The objective of this study was to review mortality from external causes (accidental injury) in children and adolescents in systematically selected journals. This was a systematic review of the literature on mortality from accidental injury in children and adolescents. We searched the PubMed, Latin-American and Caribbean Health Sciences and Excerpta Medica databases for articles published between July of 2001 and June of 2011. National data from official agencies, retrieved by manual searches, were also reviewed. We reviewed 15 journal articles, the 2011 edition of a National Safety Council publication and 2010 statistical data from the Brazilian National Ministry of Health Mortality Database. Most published data were related to high-income countries. Mortality from accidental injury was highest among children less than 1 year of age. Accidental threats to breathing (non-drowning threats) constituted the leading cause of death among this age group in the published articles. Across the pediatric age group in the surveyed studies, traffic accidents were the leading cause of death, followed by accidental drowning and submersion. Traffic accidents constitute the leading external cause of accidental death among children in the countries under study. However, infants were vulnerable to external causes, particularly to accidental non-drowning threats to breathing, and this age group had the highest mortality rates for external causes. Actions to reduce such events are suggested. Further studies investigating the occurrence of accidental deaths in low-income countries are needed to improve the understanding of these preventable events.

Clean air is considered as one of the basic requirements for human being. Pollution-related diseases due to air pollution continue to rise at an alarming rate and affect people's quality of life. Air pollution also adversely affects welfare inequality. Air pollution as a significant risk factor affects health and sense of subjective well-being (SWB). In this study, the effect of air pollution on subjective well-being (life satisfaction, happiness, and optimism) is investigated. Relationship between well-being and air quality is a fundamental issue to design public policies. Hence, the studies about the link are of grooving interest in the literature. The results show that air pollutants have an effect on subjective well-being. The link between life satisfaction and happiness is very strong. Optimism is also positively correlated with life satisfaction and happiness. Good air quality and optimism make people happier. Air quality is likely to have an effect on people's sense of life satisfaction, happiness, and optimistic view. The results indicate that the PM 2.5 level is significantly and negatively related to on optimism. It is obvious that there is a very strong relationship between air quality and subjective wellbeing. Relationship between wellbeing and air quality is a fundamental issue to design public policies.

“…For instance; it is observed that nine people in Denmark, 11 people in Germany and 73 people in Turkey have been died in each 1.000.000 vehicle/km. 17 There is a strong positive association between infant mortality and children traffic fatality. Children traffic fatality is a backwardness problem and an indicator of underdevelopment.…”

Amaç: Çocuk güvenlik koltukları çocuk yolcuları korumanın en iyi yöntemidir. Son yıllarda batı ülkelerinde motorlu araç kazalarında çocuk ölümlerinde önemli bir azalma olmuştur. Ancak Türkiye'de çocuk güvenlik koltuklarının kullanımı 2010 yılından itibaren zorunlu olmuştur. Bu çalışmada güvenlik koltuklarının kullanım sıklığını ve ebeveynlerin trafikte çocuk güvenlik koltukları kullanımı ile ilgili görüşlerini saptamayı amaçladık. Gereç ve yöntem:Bu çalışma Türkiye'nin Kars ilinde gerçekleştirildi. Üniversitede çalışan ebeveynlere anket dağıtıldı. Anketin ilk kısmında katılımcının kişisel özellikleri sorgulanırken ikinci bölüm ebeveynlerin çocuk güvenlik koltukları ile ilgili bilgilerini değerlendirmek amacıyla oluşturuldu.Bulgular: Dağıtılan 600 anketten 516 (%86) geri toplatıldı ve değerlendirmeye alındı. Bu çalışmada 266 katılımcının çocuğu ve otomobilinin olduğunu gösterdi. Onların yalnızca %13.5'inin çocuk güvenlik koltuğu mevcuttu. Ebeveynler çocuk güvenlik koltukları hakkındaki bilgi eksikliklerinin sahip olmamalarının en önemli nedeni olduğunu belirttiler. Anne babaların çoğu gelecekte trafikte çocuk güvenli ile ilgili daha dikkatli olacaklarını belirttiler.Sonuç: Bu çalışma ebeveynlerin çocuğunun çocuk güvenlik koltuklarının gerekliliği hakkında bilgilerinin olmadığını gösterdi. Otoriteler çocuk güvenlik koltuklarını kullanım oranlarını arttırmak amacıyla yeni stratejiler geliştirmelidirler.
