Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS 8JklnR0x. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Background Health effects of ozone have been observed in numerous studies. However, analyses of more cause-specific morbidity or mortality outcomes have rarely been performed. A study was undertaken to determine the short-term associations of ozone with cause-specific cardiorespiratory mortality and morbidity by age groups. Methods Daily levels of ozone were measured at a background measurement station in 1998-2004 in Helsinki, Finland. All analyses were a priori restricted to the warm season. Daily cause-specific cardiorespiratory mortality and hospital admissions were studied in elderly people (>=65 years) and adults (15-64 years) and associations between ozone and asthma emergency room visits in children ( |
