Social Disparities in Children’s Respiratory Health in El Paso, Texas
The objectives of this study were to assess prevalence of children's respiratory health conditions and to measure and describe social disparities in children's respiratory problems and access to health resources for asthma/wheezing management. Data were collected through a cross-sectional, observational mail survey of all primary caretakers of 4th and 5th grade children in El Paso Independent S...
متن کاملField method comparison between passive air samplers and continuous monitors for Vocs and NO2 in El Paso, Texas.
This study evaluates the performance of Model 3300 Ogawa Passive Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) Samplers and 3M 3520 Organic Vapor Monitors (OVMs) by comparing integrated passive sampling concentrations to averaged hourly NO2 and volatile organic compound (VOC) measurements at two sites in El Paso, TX. Sampling periods were three time intervals (3-day weekend, 4-day weekday, and 7-day weekly) for three...
متن کاملClean Indoor Air in El Paso, Texas: A Case Study
BACKGROUND Exposure to secondhand smoke is an important preventable cause of illness and death. A Smoke-Free Paso del Norte Coalition in El Paso, Texas, led a drive to introduce an ordinance to protect nonsmoking persons from the health effects of secondhand smoke in public places. The ordinance was introduced in April 2001 and was passed on June 26, 2001. CONTEXT El Paso is the fifth largest...
متن کاملEvaluation of land use regression models for NO2 and particulate matter in 20 European study areas: the ESCAPE project.
Land use regression models (LUR) frequently use leave-one-out-cross-validation (LOOCV) to assess model fit, but recent studies suggested that this may overestimate predictive ability in independent data sets. Our aim was to evaluate LUR models for nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and particulate matter (PM) components exploiting the high correlation between concentrations of PM metrics and NO2. LUR model...
متن کاملEffect of Monitoring Network Design on Land Use Regression Models for Estimating Residential NO2 Concentration
Land-use regression (LUR) models are increasingly used to estimate exposure to air pollution in urban areas. An appropriate monitoring network is an important component in the development of a robust LUR model. In this study concentrations of NO2 were simulated by a dispersion model at ‘virtual’ monitoring sites in 54 network designs of varying numbers and types of site, using a 25 km2 area in ...
