ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH EFFECTS OF MULTIPLE EXPOSURES: SYSTEMIC RISKS AND THE DETROIT RIVER INTERNATIONAL CROSSING STUDY (Thesis format: Integrated Article) by TOR HENNING OIAMO Graduate Program in Geography (Environment and Sustainability) A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The School of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies The University of Western Ontario London, Ontario, Canada © Tor Henning Oiamo 2015 ABSTRACT This thesis examines cumulative exposures to traffic noise and outdoor air pollution on environmental and health related quality of life in Windsor, Ontario, and provides a critical analysis of the environmental assessment process for the Detroit River International Crossing (DRIC) Study. The research utilizes a systemic risk framework to understand environmental health and stress effects of cumulative exposures. The significance of this research is based on a relative absence of literature on the systemic health risks of cumulative exposures and the need to elucidate environmental annoyance as a health outcome for risk assessment. The objectives of the research were to (1) Demonstrate the impact of high volume traffic facilities on the noise annoyance dose-response; (2) Evaluate the effect of cumulative exposures and odour annoyance on noise annoyance; (3) Conceptualize and test a model for annoyance as a health outcome of multiple exposures, and; (4) Critically appraise the capacity of environmental impact assessment to address environmental health in megaproject planning. Data from a community survey (n=610) in 2013 were combined with spatial data exposures to traffic noise and ambient nitrogen dioxide. Bivariate analyses, multivariate regression and structural equation modeling were used for the quantitative analysis. Document and media analyses were used to construct stakeholder discourses on environmental health and risk perceptions of relevance to the DRIC Study. The results of an ordinal location-scale model used to predict noise annoyance demonstrated a dose-response effect of noise, significant interactions between noise and air pollution, and a strong confounding effect of odour annoyance. A structural equation model for environmental and health related quality of life indicated that noise annoyance had a negative impact on functional mental and physical health, and that odour annoyance and levels of co-exposure were important covariates. The ii results of the quantitative analysis corresponded with community discourses on environmental health during the DRIC Study. Further analysis showed that the environmental assessment process obfuscated community health risks and stakeholder participation, lending support to the utilization of systemic risk perspectives and integrated environmental impact health assessments in megaproject planning. The DRIC study findings were in disagreement with public perceptions and previous research that demonstrates strong contributions of border traffic to air pollution and significant associations between air pollution and health in Windsor. The results of this thesis complement these findings by showing that ambient stressors in Windsor and in the environmental context of the DRIC megaproject had a systemic effect on health. This provides a unique contribution to the environmental health literature on cumulative effects of exposure to environmental noise and ambient pollution. It also provides a methodological contribution to systemic health risk assessment for measuring impacts of multiple environmental exposures on health related quality of life. For future research on environmental health the results warrant explicit consideration of multiple exposures and their combined effects as ambient stressors.

I will undoubtedly miss a few here, but hope you know I am forever grateful. First and foremost, I would like to thank my supervisors, Dr. Isaac Luginaah and Dr. Joy Parr. You were an inspiration to follow my interest in environmental health before we met, and you will continue to be my mentors in academic and everyday life. Dr. Luginaah, for believing first in my abilities to complete an undergraduate thesis, then a PhD thesis, I thank you sincerely. You have given me more opportunities than I could have imagined possible, too many to list here, and you were always available for advice and guidance amid awe- inspiring and continuing efforts to support your students. To Dr. Joy Parr, thank you for your time and thoughtful consideration of my wellbeing and intellectual exploits during a challenging time. Thank you also for constantly challenging me to hone my academic skills, and for reminding me to be practical when I (often) forgot. I would like to offer a special thank you to Dr. Jamie Baxter, for all ‘intensive purposes’ a supervisor, and a voice of reason throughout my time as a graduate student. Thank you to Kathy Tang for countless hours of GIS tutoring. I would also like to thank Dr. John Ciriello for introducing me to research during my undergraduate years in his laboratory and Dr. Dan Shrubsole for providing opportunities beyond research during my PhD. To Lori Johnson, Caroline Majeau, Angelica Lucaci, Joe Smrekar and all the staff in the geography department, thank you for making it work. v This work would not be possible without generous support from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council through a research grant and scholarships, as well as Western University for graduate funding and other support. Collaborators at Health Canada and the University of Windsor were also instrumental for my timely and successful completion. A special thanks to Hans Forschner at SoundPLAN for the generous support and licensing, and Alan Boucquey at Canadian Viewpoint Inc. for help with the survey. Thanks to my fellow graduate students for truly making my time at Western the best student experience, in particular everyone in the EHHL lab current and past for help and moral

  • Introduction
    THE WINDSOR BORDER REGION INTRODUCTION A. VISITORS BEFORE 1700 THIS historical survey is intended to serve as an introduction to a series of documents relating to the exploration and settlement of Canada's southernmost frontier. A glance at the map of Canada suffices to locate that frontier-the Detroit River region.1 At 42° latitude the eye quickly focuses on a 20-by-30-mile rectangular peninsula whose south, west, and north shores are washed by the waters of Lake Erie, the Detroit River, and Lake St. Clair respec- tively. Today this peninsula is Essex County in the Province of Ontario. Local Chambers of Commerce refer to it as the Sun Parlour of Canada. A recent book which records the development of the county and its chief city, Windsor, during the past century is entitled Garden Gateway to Canada. These last two appellations indicate its frontier position, its mild climate, and its fertile fields. The exploration of the Detroit River region was retarded by the warring expeditions of the Father of New France. In 1609 and 1615, when Champlain accompanied Algonquin and Huron Indians on forays against their Iroquois enemies, whose strongholds were located between the Hudson and Genesee rivers in the present State of New York, he sealed the friendship between the French and the Hurons and Algonquins. At the same time, however, he provoked later alignments of the Iroquois with their Dutch and English neighbours of the Atlantic seaboard, because the savages became convinced that the French were the allies of their Indian enemies. Because of this enmity of the Iroquois for the French, for half a century the French explorers and missionaries could not follow the St.

The City of Windsor celebrates our 125th anniversary of incorporation, while Canada and Ontario mark 150 years as a country and province. To help us celebrate our past, present and future, the City has launched the Celebrating2017 Initiative. This year-long campaign includes signature events, community celebrations, and a goal of creating meaningful projects for future generations. A “Legacy Project” included in this initiative is the Hiram Walker Commemorative Statue The Hiram Walker Commemorative Statue, to be installed on the corner of Riverside Drive and Devonshire Road, will become part of the City’s Sculptures, Monuments and Memorials Collection. The collection is a lasting way for us to honour our past and the stories that helped to form our City. Hiram Walker formed an important part of our City. He developed his own community - including a church, school, police force, fire service, and railway. Walkerville, as it became known, was created as a model town that was the envy of the continent. Hiram Walker’s progress in Walkerville changed the landscape of Windsor forever. Be a part of the Hiram Walker legacy. As a supporter of the Hiram Walker Commemorative Statue, your name will stand as a permanent piece of Windsor’s history alongside one of our City’s most esteemed residents. Visited by school groups, tourists, residents and historians, the statue will be a reminder of Windsor ingenuity for generations to come. you and hiram walker have much in common. PIONEERS..
