This paper demonstrates association of short-term variation in pollution and health outcomes within the same geographical area for a typical urban setting in the northern part of the UK from time series analysis. It utilises publicly available datasets for regulated air pollutants (PM₁₀, NO₂, SO₂, CO and O₃), meteorology and respiratory hospital admissions (and mortality) between April 2002 and December 2005 to estimate the respiratory health effect of pollution exposure, mainly in the elderly. Our results show that PM₁₀ and O₃ are positively associated with respiratory hospital admissions in the elderly, specifically in the age group 70-79. CO effects seem to be concentrated on the most elderly age group (80+) whereas NO₂ seems to have the opposite age-related effect, with lower effects on the more elderly.
本研究通过时间序列分析，在同一地理区域内展示了英国北部典型城市环境中短期污染物变化与健康结果之间的关联。该研究利用了公开的空气污染物（PM₁₀、NO₂、SO₂、CO 和 O₃）、气象和呼吸系统疾病住院（和死亡率）数据集，对 2002 年 4 月至 2005 年 12 月期间的污染暴露对呼吸系统健康的影响进行了评估，主要针对老年人。研究结果表明，PM₁₀ 和 O₃与老年人的呼吸系统疾病住院呈正相关，特别是在 70-79 岁年龄组。CO 的影响似乎集中在最年长的年龄组（80 岁以上），而 NO₂ 的年龄相关影响则相反，对更年长的人群影响较小。
