Research Abstract

We created the spatio-temporal model accounting for the temporal and geographic variation, and evaluated the impact of ambient air pollution and Asian dust on mortality. We conducted a city-specific time-series analysis by using daily data of cause-specific mortality for people aged 65 or older, Asian dust, and air pollution from 2005 to 2010 in Chugoku area. We found that Asian dust hadadverse effects on circulatory and respiratory mortality independent of traffic related air pollution.
