Air quality-or its converse, air pollution-is a significant risk factor for human health. Recent studies have reported association between air pollution and human health. There are numerous diseases that may be caused by air pollution such as respiratory infection, lung cancer, cardiovascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and asthma. In this study, the relationship between air quality and quality of life was examined by using canonical correlation analysis. Data of this study was collected from 27 countries. WHO statistics were used as the main source of quality of life data set (Y variables set). European Environment Agency statistics and (for outdoor air-PM10) WHO statistics were used as the main source of air quality data set (X variables set). It is found that there are significant positive correlation between air quality and quality of life.
空气质量——或其反面,空气污染——是人类健康的一个重要风险因素。最近的研究报告称,空气污染与人类健康之间存在关联。许多疾病可能是由空气污染引起的,如呼吸道感染、肺癌、心血管疾病、慢性阻塞性肺疾病和哮喘。在这项研究中,使用典型相关分析来研究空气质量和生活质量之间的关系。本研究的数据来自 27 个国家。世界卫生组织的统计数据被用作生活质量数据集(Y 变量集)的主要来源。欧洲环境署的统计数据和(室外空气-PM10)世界卫生组织的统计数据被用作空气质量数据集(X 变量集)的主要来源。研究发现,空气质量和生活质量之间存在显著的正相关关系。
