摘要: Abstract Acute myocardial infarction (MI) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are important diseases worldwide. Inhalation is the major route of short-term exposure to air sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ) that negatively affect human health. The objective this study was estimate health effects SO in Khorramabad, Iran using AirQ software developed by World Health Organization (WHO). Daily mean concentrations were used as estimates allow calculation attributable excess relative risk an acute MI hospital admissions due COPD (HACOPD). annual concentration Khorramabad 51.33 µg/m 3 . Based on (RR) baseline incidence (BI) approach WHO, increased 2.7% (95% CI: 1.1–4.2%) 2.0% 0–4.6%) HACOPD, respectively, attributed a 10 µg/m increase. Since geographic, demographic, climatic characteristics different from areas which relationships not evaluated here, further investigations will be needed fully quantify other impacts A decreased for MIs could achieved if mitigation strategies measures implemented reduce exposure.
