课程名称：空气污染—全球健康的威胁 概述：空气是我们生存所需，但无论是室内还是室外，我们呼吸的空气都受到污染。每年，这种污染导致全球700万人失去生命，并造成大量痛苦。每八个死亡病例中就有一个与空气污染有关。本课程将为您介绍空气污染对健康影响的最新研究，并帮助您更广泛地理解空气污染的来源、传播以及我们应采取的应对措施。 课程将探讨以下重要问题：空气污染是什么？其来源是什么？我们在室内和室外如何暴露于空气污染中？空气污染对我们身体的影响是什么？造成的疾病有哪些？哪些人群最为脆弱？我们如何评估空气污染的影响？要实现“显著减少因有害化学品及空气、水和土壤污染导致的死亡和疾病”的可持续发展目标，我们该如何行动？ 在课程中，您将与来自哥本哈根大学和丹麦技术大学的研究人员和专家会面，他们在空气污染与健康的不同方面进行研究，包括毒理学、暴露评估、流行病学、工程学和健康影响评估。应对空气污染对健康的影响是全球性的责任，只有通过新的知识和全球合作，才能推动这一斗争的胜利。 我们希望您能加入我们，提升自己参与这一全球和个人健康挑战的能力。 课程大纲： 1. 名称：我们呼吸的空气 描述：我们呼吸的空气中充满了颗粒和气体。一些气体是自然产生的，但许多是人类活动的结果。本模块将探讨空气污染的定义、来源以及它对肺部和身体其他部分的影响。 2. 名称：户外空气污染 描述：户外空气污染影响到我们每一个人，但不同国家、城乡和街道之间的空气污染水平差异显著。尽管所有人都会受到影响，但一些人群对空气污染的健康影响更为脆弱。本模块将解释如何在不同人群中研究户外空气污染的健康影响，并讨论应对户外污染的方法。 3. 名称：室内空气污染 描述：大多数人把大部分时间花在室内。建筑围护结构会积聚来自室内和室外的污染物。本模块将解释固体燃料使用对健康的影响，这是许多地区的重要污染源，以及其他室内空气污染的来源。您还将学习如何改善家中的空气质量。
Name:The air we breathe
Description:The air we breathe is full of particles and gases. Some occur naturally, but many are the result of human activities. This first module will look into what air pollution is, where it comes from and what it does to our lungs and the rest of our body.
Name:Outdoor air pollution
Description:Outdoor air pollution affects all of us – no matter where we are on the Globe. But there are big differences in air pollution levels from one country to another, from rural to urban areas, from city to city, and even from one side of the street to the other. Though all people are affected, some people are more vulnerable to the damaging health effects of air pollution than others. This module will explain about how we can study health effects of exposure to outdoor air pollution in diverse population groups. We will also look at what we can do to fight outdoor pollution – and cope with it.
Name:Indoor air pollution
Description:Most people spend most of their time indoors. The building envelope traps and accumulates pollution from both indoor and outdoor sources. This module will explain about health effects of indoor use of solid fuel as a particularly important source in large parts of the world, as well as of other sources of indoor air pollution. You will also learn about what you can do to improve the air quality in your home.
We all have to breathe to live. But the air we breathe is polluted both outdoors and indoors. Each year, this pollution costs 7 million lives across the globe – and a lot of suffering. 1 in 8 deaths is due to air pollution. This course will provide you with an introduction to the most recent research in the field of health effects of air pollution as well as a broader understanding of sources and spread of air pollution and what we should do about it. What is air pollution? What are the sources? How and where are we exposed outdoors and indoors? What happens in the body? Which diseases are the result? Who are the most vulnerable? How can we assess the effects of air pollution? And what should we do to reach the Sustainable Development Goal to “substantially reduce the number of deaths and illnesses from hazardous chemicals and air, water and soil pollution”? These are some of the important questions we will address in the course. During the course you will meet researchers and experts from the University of Copenhagen and the Technical University of Denmark. They work with different aspects of air pollution and health: toxicology, exposure assessment, epidemiology, engineering and health impact assessment. It is a global responsibility to combat the health impacts of air pollution, and this fight can only be won through new knowledge and global collaboration. We hope you will join us in the course and equip yourself to take part in this global and individual health challenge.
