D EP Lazio Dipartimento di Epidemiologia del Servizio Sanitario Regionale Regione Lazio A I E Associazione Italiana di Epidemiologia February 9-13 2015 Integrated Environmental and Health Impact Assessment with special emphasis on air pollution course leaders: Gerard Hoek and Kees de Hoogh Dipartimento di Epidemiologia del SSR del Lazio via di Santa Costanza 53, Roma Integrated Environmental and Health Impact Assessment (IEHIA) is a multidisciplinary approach and instrument that draws from disciplines such as public health, the social and political sciences, environmental science, urban planning, epidemiology and statistics. Its remit is broad in scope — to protect and promote population health by analyzing and estimating potential health impacts of projects, programs and policies and informing decision-makers about those potential impacts. This course aims to present the IEHIA process, and it provides an opportunity for participants to work on IEHIA case studies, increasing participants’ confidence in doing IEHIA in practice Contents: • Integrated Environmental and Health Impact Assessment concepts and approaches • GIS-based exposure assessment techniques • AERMOD: an easy interface to conduct a IEHIA • Dose response relationships Introductions and approaches • Literature review exercise • Calculate the Health impact • Three case studies on Waste, Noise, and Cycling mobility in urban areas Monday 9 9.30-12.30 Tuesday 10 Wednesday 11 Thursday 12 Friday 13 Introduction to GIS and exposure assessment (KdH) Baseline morbiditymorbidity (EC, MDM) Calculate the impact.
