【 摘 要 】

Daily records ofhospital admissions due to cardiorespiratory diseases and levels of PM10,SO2, CO, NO, NO2, and O3 were collected from1999-2004 to evaluate the relationship between air pollution and morbidity inLisbon. Generalised additive Poisson regression models were adopted, controllingfor temperature, humidity, and both short and long-term seasonality. Significantpositive associations, lagged by 1 or 2 days, were found between markers oftraffic-related pollution (CO and NO2) and cardiocirculatory diseasesin all age groups. Increased childhood emergency admissions for respiratoryillness were significantly correlated with the 1-day lagged SO2 levelscoming from industrial activities.
