1. Specify exposure
* PM10, BS
* Urban background stations
Five main steps in HIA

2. Define the appropriate health outcomes
* Acute effects* Acute effects
- Premature mortality excluding accidents and violent deaths
- Hospital admissions for respiratory diseases 65+ age group
- Hospital admissions for cardiac diseases all ages
* Chronic effects* Chronic effects
- Premature mortality

ConclusionsConclusions* Our HIA provides a conservative but accurate and
detailed picture of the impact of air pollution on health in 26 European cities, and shows that air pollution continues to threaten public health in Europe.
* Even very small and achievable reductions in air pollution levels have an impact on public health
* This impact justifies taking preventive measures even in cities with low levels of air pollution

To keep our HIA as accurate and up-to-date as possible:
- Produce new exposure-response functions on short-term effects of AP
- Calculate years of life lost or reduction in life expectancy, in addition to the attributable number of deaths based on long-term effects
Actions, steps and resultsduring the third year (2002-03)

To fulfill our mission of making our learnings available to the broadest possible audiences, and to evaluate the usefulness of our work on HIA among those who need to know:
