Wood Burning Stoves and High PM Levels in Montreal Ref: Globe and Mail Feb. 5, 2009 http://tinyurl.com/bcm77p 47 per cent of the fine particulate matter in Quebec's air comes from fireplaces and wood stoves Environment Canada has issued 25 smog alerts for Montreal since the start of winter, 18 last month alone. The Lung Association says atmospheric pollution is responsible for 1,540 premature deaths in the Montreal region annually Montreal would prohibit the installation of wood stoves in new or existing homes. Stoves that burn wood pellets would still be allowed. The city's executive committee approved the wood-burning bylaw yesterday and will present it to city council on Feb. 23.

61. How to Deal with Different Health Outcomes? Monica Campbell, Environmental Protection Office, Toronto Public Health http://www.irr-neram.ca/about/May%2019%20Workshop/Monica%20Campbell%20talk.ppt Pyramid of Health Effects Toronto Annual Estimates for Inhalable Particulates (PM 10 ) Premature mortality (acute) 177 Cardiovascular hospitalization 421 Respiratory hospitalizations 597 Adult chronic bronchitis 1,186 Emergency room visits 5,981 Bronchitis in children 11,997 Asthma symptom days 71,930
Th number of licensed vehicles includes cars, trucks, buses etc and is accelerating faster than the growth of the population as more an dmore pople live in the suburbs and require more cars per household than previously The length of roads in Ottawa is actually greater than the City of Toronto with 4 times the popualtion and a smaller area than Ottawa The estimates of premature deaths due to air pollution have increased from 140- 150 (OMA 2000) to the range 250-300 (OMA 2005 and Toronto MOH 2005) partly because Particulate Matter was added as a cause – and plans are in palce to monitor this pollutant which tends to impact locally and accumulate as opposed to being mixed with the atmosphere as other gaseoius products are, with less health impacts
it is notewqorthy that the Enviroemtnal Ass4essment for the East West Light Raail project inclded an assessment ofi the prevailing enviroemnt including air quality. Despite the absence of any actual measurements of air quality in the project area, throught EPA traffic management models (mobility 6) and he use of traffic flow numbers (based mainly on the Origin Detsination Survey in 1995 updated by spot traffic counts), the result for the 56 checkpoints was 47 moderate and 7 poor. The enxt Origin Destination Study is exp[ected to provide updated info on traffic flows and be available in April 2006
Pyramid of health effects illustrates that as the severity of the adverse health effect decreases, a larger portion of the population is affected We likely need to rely on severe adverse outcomes (mortality and hospitalization) because administrative records are most reliable and available One approach is to examine non-traumatic morbidity/mortality in the community and use risk coefficients from the literature to estimate what proportion is attributable to air pollution Another approach is to examine local exposures to air pollution and do a quantitative risk assessment (gives predicted risk)
Many questions are possible, only a few illustrated here Are cost-effective analysis tools currently available or could they be created to be able to assess the health benefits of various policy options? If we could introduce this type of information at the local level, it could help influence policy in a positive way Currently, analysis of health benefits of policy options is not common at the local level
