摘要

背景:空气污染对健康的影响通常是全球性的问题,但近年来已成为发展中国家特别关注的问题。本综述评估了埃塞俄比亚的空气污染状况及相关健康影响:本出版物所查阅的资料包括在线搜索引擎中已发表的科学论文、未发表的政府报告和学术论文/论文。此外,文章还对从参与空气质量管理的当局和专家处获得的访谈数据进行了分析、解释和报告:对埃塞俄比亚进行的少数几项研究的审查表明,24 小时测量的 PM2.5 平均浓度高达 280 µg/m3(范围:2,417-12,739 µg/m3)。室内一氧化碳 (CO) 含量普遍高于美国的监管限值,使用传统炉灶和固体生物质燃料的家庭的一氧化碳含量更高。据报告,超过 95% 的家庭使用传统炉灶和固体生物质燃料。据一项大型纵向研究报告,二氧化氮的平均水平较高(97 ppb)。大多数样本的环境 PM10 水平低于世界卫生组织的指导值。在亚的斯亚贝巴的交通道路上采集的路面 CO 样本中,约 50% 低于指导值,而据报告,埃塞俄比亚的机动车数量每年增长超过 9%。该国的空气质量监测能力非常有限。利益相关者之间在这方面的协调也不足。有关空气污染对健康影响的有限证据表明,使用粗生物质燃料的家庭中儿童急性呼吸道疾病的发病率明显高于全国平均水平:本文审查和报告的有限证据表明,室内空气污染严重,室外空气污染呈恶化趋势。这一初步结论表明,迫切需要在室内和室外空气污染领域开展更多循证研究和能力建设。

Indoor and Outdoor Air Pollution- related Health Problem in Ethiopia: Review of Related Literature.

Background: The health effects of air pollution are generally global problems, but they have, since recently become issues of particular concern for developing countries. This review assessed the situation of air pollution and related health effects in the context of Ethiopia.

Methods: The materials reviewed in this publication are published scientific papers from online search engines, unpublished government reports and academic theses/dissertations. In addition, interview data obtained from authorities and experts involved in the management of air quality were analyzed, interpreted and reported in the article.

Results: Review of the few studies conducted in Ethiopia showed that average concentrations of PM2.5 reached as high as 280 µg/m3 for 24-hour measurements (range: 2,417-12,739 µg/m3). Indoor carbon monoxide (CO) levels were universally higher than regulatory limits for the United States and were found to be much higher among households using traditional stoves and solid biomass fuels. The use of traditional stoves and solid biomass fuels was reported in >95% of the households considered. High average levels of NO2 (97 ppb) were reported in a large longitudinal study. The ambient PM10 level was below the WHO guideline values in the majority of the samples. About 50% of the on-road CO samples taken from traffic roads in Addis Ababa were found to be less than the guideline values while the number of motor vehicles in Ethiopia is reported to be increasing by more than 9% per annum. There is a very limited air quality monitoring capacity in the country. The co-ordination between stakeholders in this regard is also inadequate. The limited evidence available on health effects of air pollution indicates that the prevalence of acute respiratory illness among children living in households using crude biomass fuels is significantly higher than the national average figures.

Conclusion: The limited evidence reviewed and reported in this article indicates high levels of indoor air pollution and trends of worsening outdoor air pollution. This tentative conclusion carries with it the urgent need for more evidence-based research and capacity building in the areas of indoor and outdoor air pollution.

期刊介绍: The Ethiopian Journal of Health Development is a multi and interdisciplinary platform that provides space for public health experts in academics, policy and programs to share empirical evidence to contribute to health development agenda. We publish original research articles, reviews, brief communications and commentaries on public health issues, to inform current research, policy and practice in all areas of common interest to the scholars in the field of public health, social sciences and humanities, health practitioners and policy makers. The journal publishes material relevant to any aspect of public health from a wide range of fields: epidemiology, environmental health, health economics, reproductive health, behavioral sciences, nutrition, psychiatry, social pharmacy, medical anthropology, medical sociology, clinical psychology and wide arrays of social sciences and humanities. The journal publishes the following types of contribution: 1) Peer-reviewed original research articles and critical or analytical reviews in any area of social public health. These papers may be up to 3,500 words excluding abstract, tables, and references. Papers below this limit are preferred. 2) Peer-reviewed short reports of research findings on topical issues or published articles of between 2000 and 4000 words. 3) Brief communications, and commentaries debating on particular areas of focus, and published alongside, selected articles. 4) Special Issues bringing together collections of papers on a particular theme, and usually guest edited. 5) Editorial that flags critical issues of public health debate for policy, program and scientific consumption or further debate
