Impact of exposure to air pollutants on human health effects in Pearl River Delta |
|
|
Abstract The concentrations of air pollutants were measured at 16 typical sites in Pearl River Delta, in 2006. The annual mean concentrations of PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NO2 and O3 were found to reach 75, 56, 57, 53 and 44μg/m3. Epidemiological studies were collected and the Meta-analysis method was used to get the exposure-response functions for health effects on mortality of residents of air pollution in China. Poisson regression model was used to calculate the health effects attributable to air pollution in Pearl River Delta.
