APHEIS (1999 – 2003)
• co-funded project of EC DG Sanco ‚Pollution-Related Diseases Programme‘
• project built on the experiences and findings of the EC DG Research projects APHEA (1991-1994) / APHEA2 (1995-1998)
FederalEnvironmental Agency
APHEIS (1999 – 2003)• project aimed to create an epidemiological
surveillance system of effects of air pollution (SO2, NO2, O3 and PM) on health
• due to money constraints reduced to: particulate matter (TSP, BS, PM10/PM2.5)
• network of environment and public-health professionals (16 centres totalling 26 cities in 12 European countries)

APHEIS-3 Health Impact Assessments
– Use of PM data –
WHO/ECEH software AirQ 2.0 (2003) requires data over one calendar year:
PM10/PM2.5 data (24h mean values) and
data of health effects

APHEIS vs. AirBase Summary
HIA-relevant PM10 stations used in APHEIS 84 - stations not included in AirBase (26%) 22
stations in AirBase 62- stat. incl., but no PM10 data available 14
stations with PM10 data (general) 48 APHEIS stations with PM10 data in AirBase 24for the resp. calendar year 2000/01/02 (29%)
FederalEnvironmental Agency
Conclusion • APHEIS successfully built up an epidemiolog.
surveillance network to assess health impacts of PM in 26 European cities (PM10: 21 cities)
• Because at the moment AirBase provides only ~30% of PM10 data (24h mean values) of selected HIA-relevant APHEIS stations (n=84),epidemiol. projects, such APHEIS, still need to compile AP data directly from respective AQ networks for HIA calculations.
