AirQ+: software tool for health risk assessment of air pollution

Quantifying the effects of exposure to air pollution in terms of public health has become a critical component in policy discussion. WHO/Europe's software tool AirQ+ performs calculations that allow quantification of the health effects of exposure to air pollution, including estimates of the reduction in life expectancy. AirQ+ estimates:

1. the effects of short-term changes in air pollution (based on risk estimates from time-series studies);

2. the effects of long-term exposures (using life-tables approach and based on risk estimates from cohort studies). For each type of estimate, separate HELP files explain details of calculation.
