“…Most studies in Lima, Peru about contamination by PM 2.5 are restricted to describing exposure, without any association with disease [2,8,14]. On exception is the paper by , which found that for each interquartile range (IQR) increase in PM 2.5 , respiratory disease, emergency room visits in Lima increased 3% (95% CI: 1.02-1.04%) for those under 18 years [15].…”

“…Also ALRI are the leading cause of premature death in Peru, approximately 222 child deaths per year for every 100,000 live births [6]. PM 2.5 are fine particles with aerodynamic diameter of 2.5 μm or less, which are emitted from a large variety of sources including automotive vehicles, industry, power generation and engine combustion [7,8]. Some prior studies have found an association between PM 2.5 and increased health center outpatient visits for respiratory diseases [9].…”

Background Lima is one of the more polluted cities in Latin America. High levels of PM2.5 have been shown to increase health center outpatient visits of respiratory diseases. Methods Health center outpatient visits for children < 5 years for childhood respiratory disease (acute lower respiratory infections (ALRI), pneumonia and acute bronchiolitis/asthma) from 498 public clinics in Lima were available on a weekly basis from 2011 to 2015 from Peru’s Ministry of Health (MINSA). The association between the average weekly concentrations of PM2.5 was evaluated in relation to the number of weekly health center outpatient visits for children. Weekly PM2.5 values were estimated using a recently developed model that combined data observed from ground monitors, with data from space satellite and meteorology. Ground monitoring data came from 10 fixed stations of the Peruvian National Service of Meteorology and Hydrology (SENAMHI) and from 6 mobile stations located in San Juan de Miraflores by Johns Hopkins University. We conducted a time-series analysis using a negative binomial model. Results We found a significant association between exposure to PM2.5 and all three types of respiratory diseases, across all age groups. For an interquartile increase in PM2.5, we found an increase of 6% for acute lower respiratory infections, an increase of 16–19% for pneumonia, and an increase of 10% for acute bronchiolitis / asthma. Conclusions Higher emissions of environmental pollutants such as PM2,5 could be a trigger for the increase of health center outpatients visits for respiratory diseases (ALRI, pneumonia and asthma), which are themselves risk factors for mortality for children in Lima province, Peru.

“…In Lima, the main sources of outdoor air pollution are automotive fleet and industrial activities [24]. A recent study showed that a change of policy regarding traffic regulation of one of Lima's main avenues, significantly decreased PM 2.5 values [25], meaning that similar changes may have an impact improving air quality.…”

Anemia affects 1.62 billion people worldwide. Although iron deficiency is the main cause of anemia, several other factors may explain its high prevalence. In this study, we sought to analyze the association between outdoor particulate matter PM2.5 levels with anemia prevalence in children aged 6–59 months residing in Lima, Peru (n = 139,368), one of the cities with the worst air pollution in Latin America. The study period was from 2012 to 2016. Anemia was defined according to the World Health Organization (Hb < 11 g/dL). PM2.5 values were estimated by a mathematical model that combined data observed from monitors, with satellite and meteorological data. PM2.5 was analyzed by quintiles. Multiple linear and logistic regressions were used to estimate the associations between hemoglobin concentration (beta) and anemia (odds ratio) with PM2.5, after adjusting by covariates. Prevalence of anemia was 39.6% (95% confidence interval (CI): 39.3–39.9). Mild anemia was observed in 30.8% of children and moderate/severe in 8.84% of children. Anemic children compared with nonanemic children are mainly males, have low body weight, higher rate of stunting, and live in an environment with high PM2.5 concentration. A slight decrease in hemoglobin (4Q B: −0.03, 95% CI: −0.05 to −0.02; 5Q B: −0.04, 95% CI: −0.06 to −0.01) and an increase in the probability of moderate/severe anemia (4Q OR: 1.18, 95% CI: 1.10–1.27; 5Q OR: 1.18, 95% CI: 1.08–1.29) were observed with increased exposure to PM2.5. We conclude that outdoor PM2.5 levels were significantly associated with decreased hemoglobin values and an increase in prevalence of moderate/severe anemia in children under 5 years old.

“…En Latinoamérica, Lima Metropolitana es una de las áreas metropolitanas más contaminadas, con el 80 % de polución, que es consecuencia de su parque automotor obsoleto, conforme lo ha indicado la Organización Mundial de la Salud, lo que va aunado a la pésima calidad de los combustibles (Vilma Tapia, 2018).…”

Las ciclovías, la movilización de las personas y su salud

Uno de los problemas en Perú es el caótico transporte automotor, así como el incremento de las migraciones, esto conlleva al crecimiento del parque automotor, no solo en la capital, sino en las capitales de departamento. De ahí que el parque automotor esté al borde del colapso, ya que es muy antiguo, y es la causa de los problemas de espacio en la ciudad, la contaminación, la vida sedentaria y el tiempo que los usuarios disponen para trasladarse. Tacna no escapa de esta realidad, pero el problema es más notorio en la capital de Perú. Ante ello, las ciclovías surgen como una solución, debido a que contribuyen al desarrollo articulado de la infraestructura urbana, que debiera estar acorde con las necesidades sociales y avances tecnológicos. Se utilizó el método deductivo, ya que se observó la realidad y se trata de dar una solución alternativa al incremento desmedido del parque automotor. Entre los resultados inmediatos se verá el incremento del uso de las bicicletas y la mejora de la calidad de vida, reflejada en la salud de la población. Se concluye que es importante que el gobierno destine un presupuesto para el crecimiento integral de las ciclovías, lo que conlleva al surgimiento y crecimiento de emprendimientos, así como a la mejora de la salud.
