  2. Effects of PM exposure on health: 2010 update • Intensive research on health effects of PM continues (500 research papers published in 2008-9): • Confirm WHO AQG Global Update 2005 conclusion on the increased of morbidity and mortality (heart disease, stroke, respiratory diseases) related to long term exposure to PM2.5; • Prompted US EPA to classify relation of cardiovascular effects with long-term PM2.5 exposure as “causal” (association of CV and respiratory effects with PM10, PM10-2.5, UF – suggestive); • Broader array of studied effects (biomarkers, reproductive & neurological effects) • Health effects demonstrated for various PM components / sources / characteristics. • Systematic assessment of health relevance of black smoke (The Netherlands)

  3. Effects of PM exposure on health: 2010 update • Ongoing activities: • Preparations to the 2013 revision of EU AQ Directive: discussion on risk assessment methods at 13th FH Meeting; • European Study of Cohorts and Air Pollution Effects (ESCAPE) • Collaboration of ca 30 cohorts covering 900,000 subjects • Health impact assessment of air pollution: • in European cities (APHEKOM) • EU – analysis by ETC ACC • Global Burden of Disease – Harvard Initiative for Global Health & collaborators, including WHO (use of GAINS & satellite-based PM2.5 estimates)
