Short-term impacts of particulate matter (PM10, PM10–2.5, PM2.5) on mortality in nine French cities

摘要: Abstract Background Multicentric studies in Europe are required to gain knowledge on the short-term impacts of PM 2.5 and 10–2.5 . We present an analysis associations between particulate matters (PM 10 , ) mortality by causes, age-groups seasons nine French cities. Methods The daily were investigated each city using a generalized additive Poisson regression model for 2000–2006 period. percent increases rate estimated 10 μg/m 3 increase interquartile range levels city, whole year season. models also compared effect observed “non-warm” days “warm” days. Results A significant (+0.8% CI 95% [0.2; 1.5] increase) (+0.7% [−0.1; 1.6]) all-ages non-accidental was observed. largest cardiovascular during summer (+5.1% [1.8; 8.4]) (+7.2% [2.8; 11.7]). These estimates lowered when included report interaction warm PM. Adjusting ozone did not modify results year, but decreased summer, high correlation is these pollutants. Conclusions Our confirm mortality, even at concentrations complying with European annual regulation. They underline call setting regulation values indicators.
