Since hospital admissions rates were significantly higher in 'Chemical Valley' as compared to both London and Windsor, we hypothesize that these higher rates are pollution related.
These admissions were especially pronounced for cardiovascular and respiratory ailments, and were hypothesized to be pollution related (Fung et al. 2007).
But SEPA's website still shows a little-reported speech by Mr Pan in 2006 in which he said cancer experts believed that 70% of China's more than 2m annual deaths from the disease were pollution-related.
While many of the costs of fossil fuels are well known, others (pollution related health problems, environmental degradation, the impact on national security from relying on foreign energy sources) are indirect and difficult to calculate.
If on the other hand, further investments are necessary to avert pollution related health outcomes, this study suggests that any further intervention costing less than €2,817 million in Priolo, and €6,521 million in Gela would be cost effective (the benefit outweighs the cost).
Furthermore, as FURBOT vehicles are electrically powered, the degree of pollution related to freight distribution is zero.
There were 275 short-term air pollution related hospitalizations in Tallinn.
Even though RR is lower, the baseline frequency of cardiovascular hospital admissions is higher than for respiratory and the attributed absolute number is greater; 204 (95% CI 131 260) pollution related hospitalizations per year.
Despite the number of studies produced so far, however, the evidence that traffic-related air pollution is related to mortality has been considered suggestive but not yet sufficient [ 15].
Traffic-related air pollution is related with asthma, and this association may be modified by genetic factors.
Furthermore, in utero exposures to passive smoking and traffic-related air pollution were both related to the development of asthma phenotypes in the first year of life.
