Article Synopsis
- Traffic-related air and noise pollution significantly impact public health, particularly affecting allergic and respiratory conditions in adults and the elderly population.* -
- A study involving 645 residents in Pisa, Italy, found that many reported exposure to traffic-related pollution, with higher odds of allergic rhinitis linked to vehicular traffic and elevated noise levels, especially in older individuals.* -
- The research underscores the importance of understanding how traffic-related exposure affects the elderly, given the growing aging population worldwide.*
Due to the increasing importance of exposome in environmental epidemiology, feasibility and usefulness of an Environmental Data Management System (EDMS) using Open Data was evaluated. The EDMS includes data from 10 European cities (Celje (Slovenia), Łódź (Poland), Manchester (UK), Palermo (Italy), Paris (France), Porto (Portugal), Regensburg (Germany), Reus (Spain), Rijeka (Croatia), Thessaloniki (Greece)) about external non-specific and specific exposome factors at the city or country level (2017-2020). Findings showed that the highest values of life expectancy were in Reus females (86 years) and Palermo males (81 years).
