According to the epidemiological surveys, ambient air pollution has directly related to mortality and different diseases such as cardiovascular and respiratory defects. Among the atmospheric contaminants, criteria air ones (NO, O, PM, SO) demonstrated that have particular importance in the community disease. The overall goal of this paper was to study the impact of criteria air contaminants on the health of the inhabitants of Shiraz city, Iran. To accomplish this, the AirQ software was applied. The results of the study revealed that the annual average NO, SO, PM, PM and O concentrations are 39.98, 27.6, 14.35, 46.16, and 120.03 μg/m in 2016 and 30.27, 23.97, 16.45, 51.65, and 52.58 μg/m in 2017. The total International Classification of Diseases (ICD), cardiovascular, and respiratory mortalities caused by air contaminants in Shiraz was predicted as 911, 628, and 182 cases in 2016, and 346, 370, and 82 cases in 2017, respectively. Sulfur dioxide (SO) had the greatest rate of total mortality with the attributable equivalent of 4.3% in 2016, but this value has been decreased to 0.42% in 2017. The findings of this research revealed that air contamination has caused problems in Shiraz city according to the predicted results. The findings of this work provide useful data for regional and national health policymakers, who should take decisions to develop strategies for control air contaminants and estimate the cost-effectiveness of interventions.
根据流行病学调查，环境空气污染直接与死亡率以及心血管和呼吸道缺陷等不同疾病有关。在大气污染物中，标准空气污染物（NO、O、PM、SO）被证明对社区疾病具有特殊重要性。本文的总体目标是研究伊朗设拉子市空气污染物对居民健康的影响。为了实现这一目标，应用了 AirQ 软件。研究结果表明，2016 年和 2017 年的年平均 NO、SO、PM、PM 和 O 浓度分别为 39.98、27.6、14.35、46.16 和 120.03μg/m3 和 30.27、23.97、16.45、51.65 和 52.58μg/m3。2016 年和 2017 年，由于空气污染物造成的设拉子总国际疾病分类（ICD）、心血管和呼吸道死亡人数分别预测为 911、628 和 182 例和 346、370 和 82 例。二氧化硫（SO）在 2016 年造成的总死亡率最高，归因当量为 4.3%，但这一数值在 2017 年已降至 0.42%。本研究结果表明，根据预测结果，空气污染已给设拉子市造成了问题。本研究结果为区域和国家卫生政策制定者提供了有用的数据，他们应做出决策，制定控制空气污染物的战略，并评估干预措施的成本效益。
