Outline of Final Research Achievements

Epidemiological evidence on air pollution is still limited in Japan. We thus evaluated the following hypotheses: 1. To evaluate the association between acute exposure to air pollution and morbidity using the ambulance data. 2. To evaluate the association between acute exposure to air pollution and mortality in Yokkaichi. 3. To evaluate the effect of air pollution on perinatal outcomes based on a clinic. 4. To evaluate the effect of air pollution on child morbidity using a large population-based cohort data. We then found the following results. 1. Acute exposure to air pollution increased risk of emergency visits due to cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, and cardiac arrest. 2. Daily level of SO2 was associated with cause-specify mortality (in particular owing to cardiovascular disease). 3. We have evaluated the exposure model and now are collecting the further data. 4. Prenatal exposure to air pollution could affect term low birth weight and subsequent development.
