| Abstract | This study examined the health impacts of O3 in Ahvaz (Iran). Ozone data were obtained from the Iranian Environmental Protection Agency and the time series were analyzed while the health endpoints from O3 exposure were calculated using the Air Q model. The time series analysis showed that air pollutants levels were associated with five steps delay of O3 and zero step delay of moving average ARMA (5, 0). The results of Air Q model revealed cumulative cases of cardiovascular mortality and myocardial infarction related to surface O3. The number of cases attributable to O3 exposure for cardiovascular mortality and myocardial infarction were estimated at 182 and 51 people per year, respectively. The finding of this study showed that, the distribution of O3 data has a correlated structure over time. Ground-level O3 was found to be positively correlated with an increased risk of cardiovascular mortality and acute myocardial infarction in Ahvaz. © by PSP. |
