International Expert Workshop on the Analysis of Economic and Public Health Impacts of Air Pollution
September 6, 2001
Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany
The International Expert Workshop on Analysis of the Economic and Public Health Impacts of Air Pollution sponsored by the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), the World Health Organization (WHO), the US Agency for International Development (USAID), the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), the Health Effects Institute (HEI), the World Bank, and other international sponsors, was held on September 6, 2001 in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany in conjunction with this year's Annual Conference of the International Society for Environmental Epidemiology.
The workshop addressed specific methodological issues faced by air quality/public health researchers in developing countries such as application of dose-response relationships and exposure models from developed countries, analysis of susceptible populations, and economic valuation of health effects.
Attendees included a range of internationally recognized experts from both developing and developed countries specializing in analysis of environmental and public health effects of air pollution. This workshop was the first in a series of meetings to improve international collaboration and harmonization of methodologies to analyze the health effects of air pollution in developing countries. This meeting was the initial step towards establishing a process to compile state-of-the-art information on the health benefits of improved air quality from technologies that reduce fossil fuel use. In addition, the ongoing series of meetings will help to increase awareness of the advantages of an integrated approach for addressing environmental problems.
