Urban physical environments and health inequalities : H118-63/2011E-PDF
Explores two aspects of the urban physical environment known to negatively affect health: outdoor air pollution and heat extremes. Shows that those who are already more vulnerable to poor health may be at increased risk of being exposed to the effects of air pollution and heat extremes because of the areas in which they live. The literature review and new analyses examine hospitalization rates for respiratory and circulatory diseases in relation to residential distance from a pollution-emitting facility and use Toronto and Montréal as case studies to explore the relationship between heat extremes and hospitalizations for respiratory and circulatory diseases.
