Resumo
Air pollution is responsible for causing damage to the respiratory tract, leading to hospitalizations and deaths due to exposure. The objective was estimate the association between exposure to particulate matter (PM10) and hospital admissions for respiratory disease in adults aged over 50 years, living in Taubaté (SP). It was an ecological time series study, conducted from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016, using the daily hospitalizations for respiratory diseases (ICD-10: J00-J99) available in DATASUS site, the daily levels of pollutants (PM10, CO, NO2, O3), and temperature and relative air, available in CETESB site. The average daily admissions was 1.3 (SD=1.35; min 0, max 8.). The multipollutant model, the hospital admissions were associated with exposure to PM10 at lag 3 (RR=1.02, 95%CI: 1.01-1.03), lag 4 (RR=1.03, 95%CI: 1.01-1.04), lag 5 (RR=1.02, 95%CI: 1.01-1.04), lag 6 (RR=1.02, 95%CI: 1.01-1.03) and lag 7 (RR=1.02; 95%CI: 1.01-1.03). The increase of 5µg/m³ PM10 concentation increased in 8.5 to 11.7 percentage points the risk of hospitalizations.
