“…In contrast, no association between increased mean sulfur dioxide levels (54.42 ± 14.33 mg/m 3 ) and elevated blood pressure was found by Dong et al ( 2013 ). Similarly, no such relationship was observed in a Serbian study (Stanković et al 2018 ).…”

Acute exposure to air pollution is associated with an increasing risk of death and cardiovascular disorders. Nonetheless, the impact of chronic exposure to air pollution on the circulatory system is still debated. Here, we review the links of chronic exposure to outdoor air pollution with mortality and most common cardiovascular diseases, in particular during the coronavirus disease 2019 event (COVID-19). We found that recent studies provide robust evidence for a causal effect of chronic exposure to air pollution and cardiovascular mortality. In terms of mortality, the strongest relationship was noted for fine particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide, and ozone. There is also increasing evidence showing that exposure to air pollution, mainly fine particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide, is associated with the development of atherosclerosis, hypertension, stroke, and heart failure. However, available scientific evidence is not strong enough to support associations with cardiac arrhythmias and coagulation disturbances. Noteworthy, for some pollutants, the risk of negative health effects is high for concentrations lower than the limit values recommended by the European Union and Word Health Organization. Efforts to diminish exposure to air pollution and to design optimal methods of air pollution reduction should be urgently intensified and supported by effective legislation and interdisciplinary cooperation.

“…PM 10 concentrations, especially in winter months, quite often exceed the values prescribed by current legislation (50mg/m 3 ). However, in this part of Serbia, no studies have been conducted on the impact of particulate matter on the health of the exposed population, while there is only a limited number of studies on the impact of gaseous air pollutants [10,11].…”

The study was aimed to investigate the effects of air pollutants particulate matter (PM 2.5, PM 10 ), sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ) and NO 2 on hospital admissions for respiratory diseases in the residents of Nis, Serbia, during the period 2012-2014. The findings of average daily concentrations of air pollutants were obtained both by the measurements made by the Public Health Institute Nis and by the state ambient air quality monitoring network of the Agency for Environmental Protection of the Republic of Serbia. The respiratory diseases analyzed in the study are pneumonia, asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Patients were categorized into three age groups (0-17.9, 18-64.9 and >65). Poisson regression was used to examine the link between air pollutants and respiratory health outcome at lag 0. Results was expressed as the increase in Relative Risk (RR) for hospital admissions for each daily increase in air pollutants for 10 µg/m 3 . NO 2 had the most significant effect on hospital admission, although its concentrations did not exceed the prescribed values. With an increase in the daily NO 2 concentrations of 10µg/m 3 , the RR of daily asthma and COPD hospital admissions in Nis older than 65 years increased by 1.2% and 0.7%, respectively. In women older than 65 years, with an increase in daily concentrations of NO 2 of 10µg/m 3 , the risk of daily hospital admissions for asthma increased by 1.5%. In multi-polluted statistical analysis (adjusted with PM 2.5 and SO 2 ) each daily increase in NO 2 for 10 µg/m 3 was statistically significant associated with the increased RR by 1.3%. In men 18 to 64 years of age, with an increase in daily NO 2 concentrations of 10 µg/m 3 , the RR of hospital admissions for asthma increased by 2.0%, and in the PM 2.5 -adjusted model, increased by 1.8%. The suspended particles had an effect on hospital admission for pneumonia in men up to 17.9 years of age. With an increase in daily concentrations of suspended PM 2,5 particles of 10 µg/m 3 , the risk of hospital admissions for pneumonia in them increases by 0.6% and 0.4%, respectively. We found that the concentration of NO 2
