'''EXPOLIS''' is a monitoring study that measured the population exposures to key air pollutants in six European cities. Concentrations were measured in home indoor, home outdoor and work indoor environments and in addition personal exposure were measured for 48hr with carry-on samplers.

==Question==
'''EXPOLIS''' is a monitoring study that measured the population exposures to key air pollutants in six European cities. Concentrations were measured in home indoor, home outdoor and work indoor environments and in addition personal exposure were measured for 48hr with carry-on samplers. Measurements took place in 1996-1997.

==Introduction==


==Answer==
The health effects of the pollution are caused by the exposure of the population. EXPOLIS measured the population exposures to key air pollutants in six European cities.


{{resultlink}}
In the Expolis study the population exposures to the key air pollutants were measured for the first time in Europe. This was one of the most important break throughs in the air pollution related public health research in the 90's.


==Rationale==
The pollutants studied in the Expolis are fine particulates (PM2.5), carbon monoxide (CO), the most interesting volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the respect of environmental exposures and public health, and nitrogen dioxide (NO2). The populations studied are working age urban populations from large cities. Metropolitan area of Helsinki is the smallest of participating cities (1 million). Largest is Athens (4 million).


{{comment|# |Put id and abbrev here.|--[[User:Jouni|Jouni]] 15:10, 22 June 2010 (UTC)}}
The Expolis field measurements were carried out 1996-97. Scientific and statistical data analyses are still going on.


===EXPOLIS logo===


* id: expolis
The EXPOLIS study name, "Expolis" was created by Dennis Zmirou. The name comes from two stems:
* abbreviation: EXPOLIS
* Exp stands for exposure
* Polis stands for a city (in greek)


Study part 2 {{comment|# |Use this only if there are several "studies" within one study.|--[[User:Jouni|Jouni]] 15:10, 22 June 2010 (UTC)}}
The EXPOLIS logo was created by Otto Hänninen and Matti Jantunen. It features key aspects of the study:
* id: study7
* abbreviation: EXPOLIS
* Description: VOC concentrations measured in personal samples and residential indoor, outdoor and workplace microenvironments in EXPOLIS-Helsinki, Finland in 1996-1997.<ref>Edwards et al., Atmospheric Environment 35 (2001), 4531-4543</ref>


===Data===
[[File:expolis_introduction_1.gif|100px]] The S-shaped curve describes the cumulative population exposure distribution. In this curve, the x-axes represents the exposure level and the y-axes is the cumulative frequency of the exposure.


{{comment|# |This data comes from condb_uusi.xls/objects.|--[[User:Jouni|Jouni]] 15:10, 22 June 2010 (UTC)}}
[[File:expolis_introduction_2.gif|100px]] The 3 different curves represent different exposure distributions in different cities or target populations.


{| class="wikitable collapsible collapsed" {{prettytable}}
[[File:expolis_introduction_3.gif|60px]] The man and the woman on the logo stand for the human beings, the public, being exposed to the air pollutants. The ultimate aim of the EXPOLIS Study is to improve public health.

The text on this page is taken from the EXPOLIS-project homepage.

EXPOLIS is a monitoring study that measured the population exposures to key air pollutants in six European cities. Concentrations were measured in home indoor, home outdoor and work indoor environments and in addition personal exposure were measured for 48hr with carry-on samplers. Measurements took place in 1996-1997.

Introduction

The health effects of the pollution are caused by the exposure of the population. EXPOLIS measured the population exposures to key air pollutants in six European cities.

In the Expolis study the population exposures to the key air pollutants were measured for the first time in Europe. This was one of the most important break throughs in the air pollution related public health research in the 90's.

The pollutants studied in the Expolis are fine particulates (PM2.5), carbon monoxide (CO), the most interesting volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the respect of environmental exposures and public health, and nitrogen dioxide (NO2). The populations studied are working age urban populations from large cities. Metropolitan area of Helsinki is the smallest of participating cities (1 million). Largest is Athens (4 million).

The Expolis field measurements were carried out 1996-97. Scientific and statistical data analyses are still going on.

The EXPOLIS study name, "Expolis" was created by Dennis Zmirou. The name comes from two stems:

  • Exp stands for exposure
  • Polis stands for a city (in greek)

The EXPOLIS logo was created by Otto Hänninen and Matti Jantunen. It features key aspects of the study:

The S-shaped curve describes the cumulative population exposure distribution. In this curve, the x-axes represents the exposure level and the y-axes is the cumulative frequency of the exposure.

The 3 different curves represent different exposure distributions in different cities or target populations.

The man and the woman on the logo stand for the human beings, the public, being exposed to the air pollutants. The ultimate aim of the EXPOLIS Study is to improve public health.

Giving feedback to us

The original EXPOLIS home pages were designed back in 1996-1997 by Ms MSc Paula Jantunen.

Feedback & requests for further information considering the work of KTL and the EXPOLIS project can be addressed to the EXPOLIS Project Coordinator, PhD Matti Jantunen and/or the head of KTL Air Hygiene Laboratory, PhD Sari Alm.

As the Internet is in the state of continuous development, many External links to the web change. If you run into a one, please let us know.

Original partners

Partners from 5 European Union member countries participated in the original study design:

Partner from UK joined the study soon:

Later, after the field phase in the original cities, new research groups have selected to utilize the EXPOLIS study design and measurement techniques.
