Issued by Health Canada under solicitation number 1000246673, this project aims to enhance the Air Health Trend Indicator (AHTI), which monitors health risks associated with short-term exposure to ground-level ozone and fine particulate matter (PM2.5). The AHTI tracks non-accidental deaths and hospital admissions related to heart, circulatory, and respiratory conditions across different seasons. While these reports have been publicly available via Environment and Climate Change Canada since 2011, the current system is limited by its focus on urban centers, its reliance on linear trend detection, and its single-pollutant modeling approach. The primary objectives of this initiative are to expand the spatial coverage of the AHTI to include rural areas with populations of at least 40,000 to ensure sufficient statistical power for mortality counts. Additionally, the project seeks to implement advanced statistical models capable of detecting non-linear trends and analyzing the simultaneous effects of multiple pollutants. This solicitation, posted on December 5, 2022, with a response deadline of January 9, 2023, outlines the requirements for bidders to provide the necessary expertise to modernize these health risk assessments on a national scale.

Full Description

Show more
The Air Health Indicator (AHTI) provides information on how the health risks from short-term exposures to air pollution change over time in relation to ground-level ozone (ozone) and fine particulate matter up to 2.5 micrometers in size (PM2.5). The AHTI measures day-to-day changes in non-accidental deaths and hospital admissions, for example, due to heart, circulatory and respiratory conditions a few days after exposure to smog (mostly ozone and PM2.5) during the warm season (from April to September), cold season (from October to March), and year-round (between January and December). Since 2011, the AHTI reports have been posted on the Environment and Climate Change Canada’s website and are accessible to all Canadians. This project will extend current AHTI in two areas: study areas (census divisions) and advanced model on trend detection.There are three concerns with the current AHTI which we aim to address with this project: (1) representing urban cities only; (2) detecting linear trend (or monotonic change) only; and (3) modelling a single-pollutant. To address (1), this project will extend spatial coverage to include more urban cities and rural areas, each of which has a population of at least 40,000. This population size is necessary to have non-zero daily counts of mortality, which is required to have statistical power to estimate air pollution related health risk. To address (2), this project will apply a more advanced statistical model to detect non-linear trend. To address (3), this project will propose new models on multi-pollutant. Therefore, there are three objectives of this project:To include rural areas in addition to urban centres,To detect non-linear trend.To consider multi-pollutants simultaneously in the trend.Note: Urban centres usually have at least one NAPS monitoring station, whereas rural areas do not.
