18 FRAMEWORK FOR CONDUCTING AN INTEGRATED A HEALTH IMPACT ASSESSMENT Transport and urban development Policy scenarios Baseline Business as usual Future OD Regional transport models Regional emission and exposure simulation Km travelled by vehicles and other travel modes METs (Metabolic equivalent) spent for active transport Exposure response function Exposure response function Diseases due to air pollution from transport Road traffic injuries Benefits of transport related physical activity 18

19 INTEGRATED HEALTH IMPACT ASSESSMENT FOR THE MONTREAL METROPOLITAN REGION AIR POLLUTION Number of cases attributable to All cause mortality Cardiovascular mortality Incidence of asthma in children MAJOR DATA NEEDS AND METHODS Modeled Nitrogen oxides (NOx) levels from a regional transport model and a dispersion model (Hatzopoulou and Eluru, McGiIl ) Exposure-response functions, mainly from the literature Calculation of cases attributable to future scenarios compared to baseline 19

20 INTEGRATED HEALTH IMPACT ASSESSMENT FOR THE MONTREAL METROPOLITAN REGION BENEFITS OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY Number of cases avoided due to transport related physical activity All cause mortality Cardiovascular mortality Diabetes type II DATA NEEDS AND METHODS METs (Metabolic Equivalent) spent for active transport based on estimated distances walked from Origin- Destination (OD) survey 2008 and modelled future scenarios Walking speeds (from literature ) MET intensities of physical activity (Ainsworth et al.) Non-transport related physical activity (in METs) (Montreal s TOPO survey 2012) Exposure-response functions from literature Calculation of cases attributable to future scenarios compared to baseline 20
