Cities are embracing greening initiatives to mitigate climate change. Planting trees is popular due to their capacity for carbon sequestration and for improving human health. Certainly, trees remove air pollutants and particulate matter, lower the heat island, promote an active lifestyle, and reduce depression. Planting trees isn't sufficient to support human health: urban trees need to b…
Premature renal ageing is a risk factor for cardio-vascular adverse events, the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and progression towards end stage renal disease (ESRD). ESRD is associated with low quality of life, high morbidity and mortality, and tremendous health care expenses. The incidence of ESRD varies greatly among countries with 6% in The Netherlands compared to 11% in …
The computer equipment requires replacement as the items currently being used by the researchers at the IEA are obsolete. (AU)
Recent studies concluded that there is a pressing need to implement strategies to improve indoor air quality(IAQ) in nursery and primary schools. Accordingly, providing the schools with tools to measure/alert airpollutants' levels to make them self-sufficient in the reduction of indoor air pollution (IAP) is vital and enablesthe mitigation of the related health impacts. Thus, the use of l…
Governments require reliable information on causes of death in order to more appropriately plan health services. This information is likely to be less available, and of poor quality, in populations where access to medical services is limited. Interim solutions will be required if governments are to be able to access policy-relevant data on cause of death patterns in rural and remote commu…

There is growing recognition that strategies to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions will also affect many public health factors. Of all the co-benefits resulting from GHG mitigation, the reduction of air pollution is of particular interest because it is related to the increase of mortality rates due to cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. Within this approach, transports represent a…

Air pollution is estimated to kill between one and four million people worldwide each yea. In São Paulo, it is estimated that over 4,000 people die from air pollution-related diseases, being the city vehicular fleet responsible for 90% of the pollutants emitted. The mobility plan for São Paulo, PlanMob/SP 2015, highlights the environmental benefits of reducing the share of private vehicle…
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading global cause of death and accounts for 17.3 million deaths per year and is expected to grow to greater than 23.6 million by 2030 [1]. Heart failure and ischemic heart disease are the main causes of cardiovascular deaths. Growing evidence supports a strong and likely causal association between CVD, and its risk factors, with incidence of cognitiv…
More than half of world's population lives in cities and it will reach 66% by 2050. A share of this population lives in the mega-cities with 10 million or more inhabitants, often found in poor and / or developing countries. In these countries, the mega-cities experienced a rapid and unplanned growth that resulted in strong inequalities and environmental degradation. This condition makes t…
