Article Synopsis
- Bulgaria has high rates of cardiometabolic diseases and air pollution-related deaths, prompting a study on daily pollution levels and hospital admissions for conditions like ischaemic heart diseases, cerebral infarction, and type 2 diabetes in Sofia.
- Researchers analyzed data from 2009 to 2018, focusing on key pollutants like particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide, and ozone, using statistical methods to assess the relationship between pollution and hospital admissions.
- The study found increased hospital admissions for heart-related issues linked to higher pollution, particularly with delayed effects, but results for diabetes were less definitive; interestingly, the risk of admissions was greater during warmer months.
