Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce this Special Issue titled “Editorial Board Members' Collection Series: Air Pollution Epidemiology”. This Issue will be a collection of papers from researchers invited by the Editorial Board Members. The aim is to provide a venue for networking and communication between IJERPH and scholars in the field of air pollution epidemiology. Air pollution epidemiology is an invaluable tool in providing evidence for establishing causal associations between air pollution and a number of health outcomes, and in quantifying risk related to exposure to air pollution. This collection welcomes all analysis and evaluation of epidemiological and toxicological data on the impact of components of air pollution on human health, including analyses of short- and long-term air pollution studies, case-crossover, and major strengths and challenges in air pollution epidemiology. With the aim and scope of guaranteeing an interdisciplinary approach, contributions related to practical experiences, design and management strategies, monitoring activities, etc. from different fields of interest are welcome. All papers will be published with fully open access after peer review.

(1) Background: Recently, a growing number of studies have provided evidence to suggest a strong correlation between air pollution exposure and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). In this study, we assessed the relationship between early-life exposure to particulate matter (PM)10, PM2.5, and ADHD; (2) Methods: The National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) contains the medical records, drug information, inspection data, etc., of the people of Taiwan, and, thus, could serve as an important research resource. Air pollution data were based on daily data from the Environmental Protection Administration Executive Yuan, R.O.C. (Taiwan). These included particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10). The two databases were merged according to the living area of the insured and the location of the air quality monitoring station; (3) Results: The highest levels of air pollutants, including PM2.5 (adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) = 1.79; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.58–2.02) and PM10 (aHR = 1.53; 95% CI = 1.37–1.70), had a significantly higher risk of ADHD; (4) Conclusions: As such, measures for air quality control that meet the WHO air quality guidelines should be strictly and uniformly implemented by Taiwanese government authorities.
