Research shown an increasing trend in hospital admissions due to respiratory and heart diseases during after consecutive days of high or even medium levels. The objective this paper provide quantitative qualitative data concerning the long-term health residents living Greater Athens Area (GAA). More accurately, prevalenc...

Background: Air pollutants have multiple adverse effects on human health. In this study, the health effects of exposure to carbon monoxide (CO) and SO2 in the air of 6 Iranian metropolises in 2011-2012 were examined. Methods: Raw data was collected from the Iranian Department of Environment and the Iran Meteorological Organization. After validation, the required statistical indices were calcul...

Abstract Preterm birth is the largest contributor to neonatal mortality globally and it also associated with several adverse health outcomes. Recent studies have found an association between maternal exposure air pollution increased risk for preterm birth. As a constituent of pollution, ozone highly reactive molecule negative effects when present near earth’s surface. This impact assessment aim...

We aimed to assess health-impacts of short-term exposure to the air pollutants including PM10, SO2, and NO2 in Shiraz, Iran in a two-part study from 2008 to 2010. In part I, local relative risks (RRs) and baseline incidences (BIs) were calculate using generalized additive models. In part II, we estimated the number of excess hospitalizations (NEHs) due to cardiovascular diseases (CDs), respirat...
