The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of short-term exposure to ambient black carbon (BC) on daily cause-specific mortality, including mortality due to respiratory, cardiovascular, ischemic heart and cerebrovascular diseases in Tehran, Iran.
Daily non-accidental death counts, meteorological data and hourly concentrations of air pollutants from 2014 to 2017 were collected in Tehran. A distributed lag non-linear model was used to assess the association between exposure to BC and daily mortality.
The mean daily BC concentration during the study period was 3.96 ± 1.19 µg/m. The results indicated that BC was significantly associated with cardiovascular, ischemic heart disease, and cerebrovascular mortality, but not with respiratory mortality. In first model, each 10 µg/m increase in at lag 3, lag 4 and lag 5 were associated with cardiovascular mortality in 16-65 year age group with the relative risks (RRs) of 1.17 (95 % CI: 1.02-1.33), 1.17 (95 % CI: 1.04-1.31) and 1.12 (95 % CI: 1.02-1.24), respectively. The highest mortality rate per 10 µg/m increase in exposure was found for ischemic heart diseases with RR of 3.98 (95 % CI: 1.04-1.81, lag 01) for 16-65 age group. Cerebrovascular mortality was associated with 10 µg/m increases in non-cumulative exposure with RR of 1.17 (95 % 1.009-1.35, lag 5) in the age group ≥ 65 years. In the second model for a 10 µg/m increase in BC, cardiovascular mortality at specific lag days (5 and 6 days) in the age group ≤ 16 years were associated with RR of 1.34 (95 % CI 1.08-1.66) and 1.35(95 % CI 1.02-1.77), respectively.
This study in Tehran found significant effects of BC exposure on daily mortality for cardiovascular, ischemic heart disease, cerebrovascular disease.

本研究旨在调查短期暴露于环境黑碳(BC)对伊朗德黑兰特定病因每日死亡率的影响,包括呼吸系统、心血管系统、缺血性心脏病和脑血管疾病导致的死亡率。
收集了德黑兰2014年至2017年的每日非意外死亡人数、气象数据和每小时空气污染物浓度。采用分布滞后非线性模型评估BC暴露与每日死亡率之间的关联。
研究期间BC的日均浓度为3.96±1.19µg/m³。结果表明,BC与心血管疾病、缺血性心脏病和脑血管疾病死亡率显著相关,但与呼吸系统死亡率无关。在第一个模型中,对于16 - 65岁年龄组,滞后3天、滞后4天和滞后5天BC每增加10µg/m³,分别与心血管疾病死亡率相关,相对风险(RRs)为1.17(95%置信区间:1.02 - 1.33)、1.17(95%置信区间:1.04 - 1.31)和1.12(95%置信区间:1.02 - 1.24)。对于16 - 65岁年龄组,缺血性心脏病暴露每增加10µg/m³,死亡率最高,滞后01天的RR为3.98(95%置信区间:1.04 - 1.81)。在≥65岁年龄组中,脑血管疾病死亡率与非累积暴露增加10µg/m³相关,滞后5天的RR为1.17(95%置信区间1.009 - 1.35)。在第二个模型中,对于BC增加10µg/m³,16岁及以下年龄组在特定滞后天数(5天和6天)的心血管疾病死亡率相关的RR分别为1.34(95%置信区间1.08 - 1.66)和1.35(95%置信区间1.02 - 1.77)。
在德黑兰进行的这项研究发现,暴露于BC对心血管疾病、缺血性心脏病和脑血管疾病的每日死亡率有显著影响。
