Effects of exposure to air pollution on acute cardiovascular and respiratory admissions to the hospital and early mortality at emergency department.

Background: Particulate matter (PM) and NO2 induce pathophysiological changes which contribute to an increased incidence of acute cardiovascular (CV) and respiratory (Rp) events.

Objectives: To analyze the relationship between air quality and the frequency of admissions to the emergency department (ED) due to the CV diseases and Rp causes.

Material And Methods: The study analyzed the reasons for admissions to the ED during the cold periods from January 2017 to January 2020.
