Assessment of health impact of the surface ozone on a population residing at Agadir city (Morocco) using the AirQ+ model

Several epidemiological and toxicological studies have shown that exposure to surface ozone increases deaths illnesses. Deteriorating air quality could lead health concerns in emerging countries such as Morocco. The aim of the present study was investigate long-term impact on Agadir residents by using AirQ+ model. reference values 2016 were daily yearly average concentrations. Two monitoring stations provided concentration per hour. total maximum 8-hour levels over 35 ppb used forecast probable impacts. As a indicator, specific mortality for respiratory disorders considered. According assessment, cumulative incidence estimated 419.5 100,000 population. A reduction concentrations less than 100 μg/m 3 might prevent 13 year (95% CI: 5–22), with an attributable proportion 0.73% 0.26–1.24). can be public tool assess risks pollution, providing policymakers basis implementing management strategies decrease pollution's effect.
