60. Ontario Air Quality Criteria (1999) AIR POLLUTION BURDEN OF ILLNESS IN TORONTO Dr. Sheela V. Basrur, Medical Officer of Health, May 2000 http://www.toronto.ca/health/burdenof.pdf Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) greatest adverse impact on human health, responsible for 40% of air-related premature mortality and 60% of cardiorespiratory admissions to hospital, despite NO2 levels many times lower than the existing air quality criterion. NO2 should be given high priority for regulatory review and exposure reduction measures. The transportation sector, especially cars, is a major source of NO2. Carbon monoxide (CO) responsible for 30% of premature mortality due to air pollution, though CO levels well below Ontario’s current air quality criterion of 13 ppm (8-hour). Transportation sector is the major source of CO . Sulphur dioxide (SO2), although well below Ontario’s air quality criterion, is still substantial morbidity and mortality associated with ambient levels in the city - about 120 premature deaths and 170 respiratory hospital admissions each year Inhalable particulates (PM10) are responsible for a substantial burden of illness in Toronto. Close to 20% of the air pollution-related premature mortality and cardiorespiratory hospitalizations due to the six common air pollutants were attributable to PM10. Full compliance with the existing Ontario criterion for PM10 (50 ug/m3), would avert only about 3 premature deaths and 7 respiratory hospital admissions.

Editor's Notes
this study (IIASA is located near Vienna, Austria) indicates the realtvely greater impact of higher indisytrial pollution in and around eastern Germany, Hungary and Czechoslavakia where premature deaths occur some 1-3 years earlier than in Scandinavia Spain or Ireland
Note that both PM and Ozone is above standard in southwestern Ontario and near Montreal with Ozone above standard near Ottawa note also that Vancouver (and BC) the Prairies except for Edmonton and the Maritimes except for Saint John New Brunswick are below standards
A detailed list of generic interventions was prepared for the NERAM 2005 Mexico colloquium and is a distillation of many similar lists from around the world – the colloquium did not find any intervention that did not fit into one category or another. A simplified version is provided here. It looks at global, regional and local sources which are both a class of government intervention possibility as well as the general structure of the source apportionment analysis modes which happen to have a similar structure. On the other dimension are fixed, mobile, and area sources – a classification which has proved useful in formulating policy interventions. For example, the province of Ontario is just implementing new policy on Point of impingement values of pollutants – regulation of a local fixed source, the bottom left box in this table.
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
