“…Adverse effects of air pollution include not only clinical outcomes such as hospitalization, decreased lung function and mortality, but also reduced quality of life, interfering with daily activities. Ecological time series studies on air pollution and human health effects have shown association between air pollution and daily hospital admissions, especially by respiratory diseases among children and the elderly [7][8][9][10] .…”

“…Studies in different environmental conditions have indicated the acute impact of air pollution on human health, lung function and respiratory symptoms 1,4,5,7,9,10 . In particular, high concentrations of particulate matter (PM) are associated with higher incidence of respiratory symptoms and decrease in lung function [11][12][13][14] .…”

“…In a study conducted in medium-sized city, exposure to PM 10 was associated with hospitalizations for asthma on same day of exposure and with lags of two and three days of exposure (Amâncio e Nascimento, 2012) Even within acceptable levels for most of the period, air pollution, especially PM 10 and NO 2 , was associated with decreased lung function in children living in Rio de Janeiro (Castro et al, 2009). In a study conducted in Ribeirão Preto, exposure to PM 10 was associated with greater number of inhalation and nebulization procedures , but the authors point out that these findings should be treated with caution in view of possible confounding factors (Carneseca et al, 2012). In Cubatão, with average values of PM 10 in the order of 64 µg m -3 , increases in the concentration of 50 µg m -3 had a risk of hospitalization by nearly 10%.…”
