Scope
Exposure-response function for short-term (acute) exposure to ambient air particulate matter (PM) with an aerodynamic diameter < 10 µm and hospital admissions due to respiratory causes.
Dimensions and boundaries relevant for the variable
- Respiratory diseases included
- ICD 460-519[1]
- Age of exposed population
- Country/other geographic area
Definition
Data
WHO task group (2004) [2]
- 0.7% (95% Cl 0.2%, 1.3%) increase in respiratory hospital admissions per 10 µg/m3 PM10 in age group 65+
APHEIS study of European cities[3]
- 1.14% (95% Cl 0.62%, 1.67%) increase in respiratory hospital admissions per 10 µg/m3 PM10 in all ages
Causality
Unit
Relative risk (RR) per 10 µg/m3 increase in exposure
