| الوصف: | Objectives: This paper presents the study design of the Berlin-Brandenburg Air study (BEAR-study). We measure air quality in Berlin and Brandenburg before and after the relocation of aircraft (AC) traffic from Tegel (TXL) airport to the new Berlin-Brandenburg airport (BER) and investigate the association of AC-related ultrafine particles (UFP) with health outcomes in schoolchildren. Methods: The BEAR-study is a natural experiment examining schoolchildren attending schools near TXL and BER airports, and in control areas (CA) away from both airports and associated air corridors. Each child undergoes repeated school-based health-examinations. Total particle number concentration (PNC) and meteorological parameters are continuously monitored. Submicrometer particle number size distribution, equivalent black carbon, and gas-phase pollutants are collected from long-term air quality monitoring stations. Daily source-specific UFP concentrations are modeled. We will analyze short-term effects of UFP on respiratory, cardiovascular, and neurocognitive outcomes, as well as medium and long-term effects on lung growth and cognitive development. Results: We examined 1,070 children (as of 30 November 2022) from 16 schools in Berlin and Brandenburg. Conclusion: The BEAR study increases the understanding of how AC-related UFP affect children's health. ; We extend our gratitude to the BEAR study participants and their parents/guardians for their invaluable contributions. We also thank the schools, day care facilities, Berlin districts, Brandenburg municipalities, the Ministry of Social Affairs, Health, Integration and Consumer Protection of the State of Brandenburg, the Ministry of Agriculture, Environment and Climate Protection of the State of Brandenburg, and the Berlin Senate Administration for their support. Our study owes its success to the dedication of our study nurses/assistants (Jennifer Golembus, Romina Grajcar, Melanie Friebel, Kerstin Theisen, Antonia Hamann, and Solvy Wolke), student workers (Simon Barchewitz, Ceyda ... |
