In this study, It is estimated the effect of short-term exposure to air pollution on hospital admission for respiratory illnesses among young children. The study used existing data from records of three hospitals. Air quality and meteorological da ta were used to estimate daily exposure for children. The impact of air pollution on the respiratory health of children is assessed using case- crossover methodology. During study period (June 2007- May 2008), the average particulate matter (PM10) concentration is 93.77 ...

Some compounds especially sulphur dioxide (SO2) is considered as typical indicators of the urban air quality. To inform decisions re garding, for instance, the protection of public health from elevated SO 2 levels in Balikesir, high-resolution maps are necessary. Therefore, the main objectives of this paper were to: (1) analyze th e spatial distribution of SO2 levels using geostatistical techniques; (2 ) incorporate this in formation in a GIS to produce accurate SO 2. Geostatistics provides useful technique to get...
