Air Pollution and Respiratory Disease

Relationship of Air Pollution and Daily Hospital Admissions Due to Respiratory Disease: A Time Series Analysis

Introduction: Air pollutants and respiratory diseases have a significant relationship and cause major health problems. Low attention has been paid to the daily hospital admissions due to the presence of pollutants in desert cities such as Yazd city, Iran. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the short-term relationship between air pollution and daily hospital admissions due to respiratory...

Influence of Air Pollution on Respiratory Disease

A large number of individuals live in areas of poor air quality, especially in urban environments. Such residency is linked with the exacerbation of asthma, respiratory morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and increased risk of viral respiratory infections. Recent studies, again particularly in urban areas, suggest a role for air pollution in th...

Air pollution and hospital admissions for respiratory disease.

Several recent studies have reported associations between short-term changes in air pollution and respiratory hospital admissions. Most of those studies analyzed locations where there was a high correlation between airborne particles and sulfur dioxide (SO2), and between all air pollutants and temperature. Here, I seek to replicate the previous findings in a location where SO2 concentrations we...

Particulate air pollution and respiratory disease in Anchorage, Alaska.

This paper examines the associations between average daily particulate matter less than 10 microns in diameter (PM10) and temperature with daily outpatient visits for respiratory disease including asthma, bronchitis, and upper respiratory illness in Anchorage, Alaska, where there are few industrial sources of air pollution. In Anchorage, PM10 is composed primarily of earth crustal material and ...
