Abstract

Recently, numerous studies have focused on the health effects of cardiovascular deaths, increased hospital admissions and visits. and ambient particulate pollutants. Compared to earlier studies that focused decreased lung function. We also observed increased modality and on severe air pollution episodes, recent studies are more relevant to morbidity in a Korean population. Theses health effects were observed understanding the health effects of air pollution at levels common to at levels below the current Ambient Air Quality Standard for particulate contemporary cities. We reviewed recent epidemiolonlc studies that air pollution. evaluated health effects of particulate air pollution and concluded that Korean J Prev Med 200 1;34(2):103-108 respirable particulate air pollution is an important contributing factor to acute mortality and morbidity. We observed increased respiratory and cardiovascular deaths increased hospitals admissions and visits, and decreased lung function. We also observed increased mortality and morbility in a Korean population. These health effects were observed at levels below the current Ambient Air Quality Standard for particulate air pollution.
