Journal Title: Shanghai Journal of Preventive Medicine - Year 2023, Vol 35, Issue 6

Abstract

ObjectiveTo analyze the effect of O3 pollution on outpatient visits for respiratory diseases in a district of Shanghai.MethodsWe collected the respiratory disease outpatient data, and atmospheric and meteorological data of from a suburban general hospital in Shanghai from 2015 to 2017. A time-series analysis by generalized additive model was conducted to examine the relationship between O3 pollution and daily outpatient visits.ResultsThe daily outpatient volume for respiratory diseases was 831. The daily 8 h median concentration of O3 was 101.04 μg·m-3. The excess relative risk was 0.461% (95%CI: 0.240%‒0.682%) at lag3. Stratified by gender and age, females, child and the aged had higher risk of respiratory diseases. In the double-pollutant model, PM2.5 and PM10 increased health effects, while CO reduced health effects.ConclusionThe increase of O3 concentration can increase the daily outpatient volume of respiratory diseases.
