Effect of Ambient Air Pollution on Daily Mortality in Katowice Conurbation, Poland
نویسندگان
چکیده
The impact of air pollution on human health is subject to extensive research. most evidence concerns the effect of exposure to airborne Pm10 and PM2.5 on daily mortality and hospital admissions. however; less is known about the effects of SO2. our study (time-series analysis) investigates the effects of 24-hour concentrations of Pm10, SO2 and nOX on daily mortality over 2001-2002 in 14 cities of the katowice conurbation. Results of the study suggest that SO2 is the major air pollutant affecting the daily mortality profile in katowice conurbation. sulphur dioxide effect is apparent in relation to both general and cardiovascular or respiratory mortality, particularly in the elderly. The effect of PM10 concentration is also statistically significant but only to the general mortality pattern.

Air Pollution and Daily Mortality in Urban Katowice, 1994-95 and 2001-02
A permanent improvement in ambient air quality in the Urban Area of Katowice over recent years could have resulted in a decreased risk of air pollution-related daily mortality. Our study investigates the risk associated with the levels of PM10 and SO2, obtained seven years apart (time-series analyses in 1994-95 and 200102). For both periods the acute mortality risk depends more on SO2 than on P...
متن کاملDaily mortality and environment in English conurbations. Air pollution, low temperature, and influenza in Greater London.
With the decline in concentrations of suspended particulate pollution in Greater London the association seen in the 1950s and early 1960s between daily mortality and air pollution in the conurbation is no longer apparent. Associations between unusually cold weather and short-term increases in mortality have been noted; there appears to be a tendency for influenza epidemics to follow cold spells.

OBJECTIVES Health Impact Assessments (HIA) approach can be executed by calculating the attributable burden of disease. The most common indicators used in the HIA methodology are: premature mortality, morbidity, life-expectancy, and Disability Adjusted Life-Year (DALY). The term Disability Adjusted Life-Years (DALYs) indicates months/years lost due to a premature death or disability. The aim of ...
