SETURI: National estimates of DALY of environmental risks

<accesscontrol>seturi_group</accesscontrol>

The purpose of this page is to serve as a forum for estimating DALYs due to exposure to environmental and other risks.

Study plan for estimation of DALYs in FInland, Norway and the Netherlands

Working group in Finland

• Eero Priha, TTL
• Timo Kauppinen, TTL
• Päivi Kurttio, STUK
• Juha Pekkanen, KTL
• Tero Hirvonen, KTL
• Timo Ståhl, Stakes

List of potential exposures that should be considered in the evaluation

Criteria 1) Public health effects 2) Concern 3) High exposures in specific groups

• Alcohol, metanol
• Particulate air pollution by source
• Ozone
• CO and NO2 (probably included in the above)
• PAHs
• Environmental tobacco smoke
