    Social inequalities in the association between social infrastructure and mental health
    (2022) Stahlmann, Katharina; Mena, Emily; Conrad, André; Kuhnert, Ronny; Bolte, Gabriele
    The mental health (MH) of especially children and adolescents with low socioeconomic status (SES) benefits from access to greenspaces. This study aimed at investigating social inequalities in the association between several types of social infrastructure (SI) and MH in children and adolescents. The sample comprised 12,624 children and adolescents of the KiGGS Wave 2 study (2014-2017). KiGGS provided information on SI (access to playgrounds, sports fields, swimming pools, parks) for all children and the environmental module (GerES V) within KiGGS on the walking time to SI for a subsample. Social inequality was measured by parental SES and the German Index of Socioeconomic deprivation and MH by the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. Ordinal logistic regression analyses showed that access to fewer SI places was associated with higher odds of MH problems. Children and adolescents experiencing high (but not medium or low) socioeconomic deprivation at the municipal level were more likely to have MH problems when having less access to SI places. At the individual level, MH problems in high- and low-SES, but not medium-SES children and adolescents were associated with no access to SI places. Children and adolescents from high socioeconomically deprived areas and with low and high SES might benefit from high-availability SI. Quelle: www.mdpi.com

    Die Umweltprobenbank
    (2016) Conrad, André; Kolossa-Gehring, Marike; Körner, Andrea; Schröter-Kermani, Christa; Koschorreck, Jan; Mohaupt, Volker; Fliedner, Annette; Rüther, Maria; Rüdel, Heinz; Deutschland. Umweltbundesamt
    Die Umweltprobenbank des Bundes (UPB) ist ein Archiv. Proben des Menschen und der Umwelt lagern dort bei sehr tiefen Temperaturen. Mit den regelmäßig gesammelten Proben können wir den Zustand unserer Umwelt dokumentieren und beobachten, wie sich die Belastung durch natürliche und anthropogene (Schad)Stoffe mit der Zeit verändert. Die Proben der UPB werden so gewonnen, transportiert, aufgearbeitet und gelagert, dass ihre biologische und chemische Information auch über lange Zeiträume konstant bleibt. Auf diese Weise machen es Umweltprobenbankenmöglich, dass wir aktuelle Proben mit Archivmaterial vergleichen können, das vor Jahrzehnten gesammelt und eingelagert wurde.Quelle: https://www.umweltbundesamt.de

    The Zero Pollution Action Plan as a chance for a cross-regulatory approach to pollution prevention and reduction
    (Umweltbundesamt, 2021) Conrad, André; Hildebrandt, Sophia; Klauk, Anja; Langner, Marcel; Schubert, Tim; Schulte, Christoph; Schwan, Johannes; Suhr, Michael; Tietjen, Lars; Vierke, Lena; Deutschland. Umweltbundesamt
    To further prevent and reduce the pollution of air, water, and soil and to safeguard human health and well-being, the European regulatory framework needs to be improved to include a cross-regulatory approach. This scientific opinion paper presents such an approach for the systemic protection of air, water, soil and human health- the Zero Pollution Ambition Cycle developed by the German Environment Agency (UBA)- The implementation of the measures announced by the European Commission within the EU Action Plan 'Towards Zero Pollution for Air, Water and Soil' published in May 2021 is an excellent opportunity for the different stakeholders for further developing and applying this integrated approach.

    The German Environmental Survey for Children and Adolescents 2014-2017 (GerES V) - Study population, response rates and representativeness
    (2021) Conrad, André; Kolossa-Gehring, Marike; Peisker, Jasmin; Reiber, Lena; Rucic, Enrico; Schulz, Christine
    The German Environmental Survey (GerES) is a population-representative, cross-sectional study on environ-mental exposures of the general population of Germany. GerES has repeatedly been conducted since 1985 by the German Environment Agency (UBA) in close collaboration with the Health Interview and Examination Surveys of the Robert Koch Institute (RKI). In the German Environmental Survey for Children and adolescents 2014-2017 (GerES V) pollutants and other environmental stressors were measured in human samples as well as in the homes of 3- to 17-year-old children and adolescents. Interviews were conducted about health-related behaviors and living conditions. The GerES V basic program encompassed examinations of whole blood, blood plasma, morning urine and drinking water samples, measurements of ultrafine particles and noise levels, comprehensive stan-dardized interviews, and self-administrated questionnaires. Additional modules on volatile organic compounds and aldehydes, particulate matter (PM2.5) in indoor air, organic compounds in drinking water and pollutants in house dust were conducted in subsamples. Potential GerES V participants were identified and attained by the RKI from those participants who were examined and interviewed for the cross-sectional component of the second follow-up to the German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Children and Adolescents (KiGGS Wave 2). The gross sample of GerES V comprised 3031 children and adolescents of which 2294 finally took part in the survey. This equals a total response rate of 75.7 %. Response rates varied, depending on region, type of mu-nicipality, age and sex, from 66.0 % to 78.3 %. By calculating individual case weights, discrepancies due to sample design and non-response between the GerES V sample and the whole population could be considered in statistical analysis. Therefore, the representativeness of the GerES V results with regard to age, sex, community size and region was assured. © 2021 Elsevier GmbH.
