ABSTRACT

The association between daily total/cardiovascular mortality and air pollution in Yeosuwas investigated over 11-year period (January 2001 to December 2011). The purpose of this studywas to evaluate th relative importance of the major air pollutants [particulate matter (PM10), sulfurdioxide (SO2)] as predictors of daily total/cardiovascular mortality. People aged 65 and oldershowed total mortality increase by 5.0% with SO2 concentration increase by 11.67ppb(IQR) wasfound to raise mortality caused by circulatory diseases by 8.6%, exhibiting a statistically significantresult.
