Join the WHO Air Quality, Energy, and Health Unit for a webinar titled “Clean air for public health – Assessing population exposure to air pollution” on April 22, 2024, from 15:00-16:30 (CEST). Air pollution claims the lives of 6.7 million individuals annually. To safeguard public health and lower mortality rates, reducing population exposure to air pollution is crucial. WHO, through its Global Air Pollution and Health Technical Advisory Group, has developed an overview of methods that are essential for assessing the health impacts of air pollution. These methods can aid countries in establishing national programs for measuring and modeling air pollution exposure.
The webinar aims to:
– Launch the Overview of methods to assess population exposure to ambient air pollution, focusing on monitoring methods as an integral component of air quality management.
– Highlight measurement and modeling methods commonly used in health impact assessments to estimate population exposure to air pollution.
– Showcase the challenges and lessons learned by countries that have implemented these methods in their air quality management systems to better understand the national burden of disease and enhance their ability to combat air pollution and protect public health.
Upon registration, a confirmation email with details on joining the webinar will be sent. The agenda includes a panel discussion, presentation, Q&A session, and insights from distinguished speakers such as Sophie Gumy, Heather Rohani-Adair, Sara Basart, Kerolyn Shairsingh, esteemed panelists, and discussants including Jill Baumgartner, Augustin Collette, Aminata Mbow, Sadegh Hassanvand, Christian Nagl, among others. Attendees can expect valuable insights on assessing population exposure to air pollution and practical strategies for implementation.
