Epidemiological studies of biomass smoke health effects have been conducted in a variety of settings and with a variety of study designs. The Health Effects Workgroup discussed several approaches for the investigation of health effects in communities exposed to wood smoke from nearby wildland fires, intentional agricultural burning, or residential biomass burning devices such as woodstoves or cookstoves. This presentation briefly reviews observational and intervention studies that have been conducted within these exposure settings. The review is followed by a summary of discussion points among the workgroup members with particular emphasis on study design and the use of biomarkers for assessing outcomes in biomass smoke-exposed populations.
流行病学研究表明,生物量烟雾对健康的影响存在于各种环境和各种研究设计中。健康影响工作组讨论了几种方法,用于调查暴露于附近野火、故意农业燃烧或住宅生物质燃烧设备(如柴炉或炉灶)产生的木烟的社区中的健康影响。本报告简要回顾了在这些暴露环境中进行的观察性和干预性研究。综述之后,工作组的成员们就讨论要点进行了总结,特别强调了研究设计和生物标志物在评估生物质烟雾暴露人群结果方面的应用。
