Respirable aerosol particles released by agricultural\ncrop-residue burning (ACRB), practised by farmers in all global regions, are\npotentially harmful to human health. Our objective was to estimate the health\nand economic costs of ACRB in northern India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Methods<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The primary outcome was acute respiratory infection (ARI) from India\u2019s\nfourth District Level Health Survey (DLHS-4). DLHS-4 data were merged with\nModerate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer satellite data on fire\noccurrence. Mutually adjusted generalized linear models were used to generate\nrisk ratios for risk factors of ARI. Overall disease burden due to ACRB was\nestimated in terms of disability-adjusted life years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Results<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seeking medical treatment for ARI in the previous 2\u2009weeks was reported\nby 5050 (2%) of 252\u2009539 persons. Living in a district with intense ACRB\u2014the top\nquintile of fires per day\u2014was associated with a 3-fold higher risk of ARI\n(mutually adjusted risk ratio 2.99, 95% confidence interval 2.77 to 3.23) after\nadjustment for socio-demographic and household factors. Children under 5\u2009years\nof age were particularly susceptible (3.65, 3.06 to 4.34 in this subgroup).\nAdditional ARI risk factors included motor-vehicle congestion (1.96, 1.72 to\n2.23), open drainage (1.91, 1.73 to 2.11), cooking with biomass (1.73, 1.58 to\n1.90) and living in urban areas (1.35, 1.26 to 1.44). Eliminating ACRB would\navert 14.9\u2009million disability-adjusted life years lost per year, valued at\nUS$152.9\u2009billion over 5\u2009years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Conclusions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Investments to stop crop burning and offer farmers alternative\ncrop-residue disposal solutions are likely to improve population-level\nrespiratory health and yield major economic returns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Risk of acute respiratory infection from crop burning in India: estimating disease burden and economic welfare from satellite and national health survey data for 250 000 persons.
