The aim of this study was to assess the health impacts related to particulate matter less than 10 μm (PM) exposure in the city of Yazd, Iran. For this aim, AirQ 2.2.3 software was used to model relationship between short-term exposure to PM and disease cases proposed by the World Health Organization (WHO). The annual mean concentration of PM was 97 μg/m. The maximum concentration value of PM was measured during the summer (731 μg/m). 4.988% (95%CI: 3.381-6.542%) of the total mortality, 7.3% (95%CI; 4.19-10.21%) of cardiovascular mortality, and 10.21% (95%CI; 4.19-14.89%) of respiratory mortality were related to the PM concentrations. Consequently, the AirQ software can provide valuable information about the importance of air pollution and the substantial impacts of PM on the society for policymakers.
本研究的目的是评估伊朗亚兹德市与接触小于10微米颗粒物(PM)相关的健康影响。为此,使用AirQ 2.2.3软件对世界卫生组织(WHO)提出的短期接触PM与疾病病例之间的关系进行建模。PM的年均浓度为97微克/立方米。PM的最高浓度值是在夏季测得的(731微克/立方米)。总死亡率的4.988%(95%置信区间:3.381 - 6.542%)、心血管疾病死亡率的7.3%(95%置信区间:4.19 - 10.21%)以及呼吸道疾病死亡率的10.21%(95%置信区间:4.19 - 14.89%)与PM浓度有关。因此,AirQ软件可以为政策制定者提供有关空气污染重要性以及PM对社会重大影响的有价值信息。
