Scope

Data

Dependencies

  • Total mortality in the Western Europe
  • Heat exposure in Europe
  • ERF of ambient temperature on mortality
    • Following WP3.7-work and WP4.3-screening, DRF will be based on the PHEWE project, which investigated the acute health effects of weather in 15 European cities and provided both pooled estimates (Mediterranean region and North-Continental region) of the impact of heat on mortality (Michelozzi et al. 2007; Baccini et al. 2008). DRFs are based on a linear threshold model. Heat exposure is defined as follows: °C Daily maximum Apparent Temperature over threshold temperature, warm season (April-September).
    • Assumption: Threshold and the DRF differ for the Mediterranean region and the North-continental region; we therefore assume that the EU-27 can be divided into two larger regions with different DRF.
    • Assumption: Temperatures above thresholds will only occur in warm season (April-September)
    • Assumption: DRF for mortality due to natural causes can be applied to total mortality

D6=Total mortality in the Western Europe*0.5 # Only summer months included
G6=ERF for heat exposure and mortality
I6='inputvariable per grid-city'!D19-'inputvariable per grid-city'!C19 #Heat exposure in Europe (scenario-baseline)
N6=(((EXP(I6*$G6))-1)/(EXP(I6*$G6))) #PAF (proportional attributable fraction?)
S6=N6*'inputvariable per grid-city'!D6 #PAF*summer mortality
