도시 대기오염의 위해 평가에 있어서 황사효과 분석 −서울시 총사망 및 원인별 사망률에 미치는 영향−

Abstract

The objectives of this study were to compare the relative risk of all-cause mortality and cause-specific mortality associatedwith Asian dust events, and especially to investigate the effects on the susceptible population such as the elderlyand children, which were based on the data in Seoul from 2000 to 2006. Both of the study periods with/without Asiandust days, respiratory-cause mortality was the highest, followed by cardiovascular-cause mortality and all-cause mortalityin sequence among mortality related to air pollution for all-aged group. As to susceptible group, the relative riskof mortality is the highest for +65 yrs group among all-cause mortality. According to comparison of mortality with/withoutAsian dust days, the relative risk of all-cause mortality is larger in the model with Asian dust days than the one inthe model without Asian dust days among all age group (except for under 15 yrs group) and all air pollutants. The relativerisk of cause-specific mortality (except for ozone in under 15 yrs group in case of respiratory-cause mortality, andozone in all age group and over 65 yrs group in case of cardiovascular-cause mortality) per IQR increase of each pollutantis larger in the model without Asian dust days.
