| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
1.Our collaboration with researchers in Japan and Malaysia has enabled the creation of an important environmental health database that allows the assessment of health impacts associated with various anthropogenic air pollutants as well as weather factors in a tropical location. This database that combines daily hospital admission records, air quality data and weather variables is a substantial step towards understanding how environmental health changes as the study location transitions to a low carbon society.
2.In this study, we found there was evidence that air particulate pollutant negatively affects cardiorespiratory diseases and that this association is short-term and varies seasonally according to local climate. Besides reducing the level of greenhouse gases, emission control in the study location is also expected to lead to a lower level of air particulate matter and because of this, lower health impacts.
3.We have presented the preliminary findings of the current study at 2 international meetings. We have also published a related article that proposes a new aerosol model to simulate the level of certain air pollutants, the results of which are currently being used to predict future health impacts.
