Single and combined effects of air pollutants on circulatory and respiratory system-related mortality in Belgrade, Serbia. 2016 http://ezaposleni.singidunum.ac.rs/rest/sciNaucniRezultati/oai/record/2/3900 http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/15287394.2015.1101407 S. Stanišić N. Stanišić A. Stojić A. Šoštarić The aim of this study was to investigate the association between short- and long-term exposure to particulate matter (PM10), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2) and soot and mortality attributed to circulatory and respiratory diseases in Belgrade area (Serbia). The analyzed dataset comprised results of regular pollutant monitoring and corresponding administrative records on frequency of daily mortality in the period 2009-2014. Nonlinear exposure–response dependencies and delayed effects of temperature were examined by means of distributed lag nonlinear models. The air pollutant loadings and circulatory system-related death rates in Belgrade area are among the highest in Europe. Data demonstrated that excess risk of death with short-term exposure to elevated concentrations of PM10, SO2 and soot was not significant, whereas marked effect size estimates for exposure over 90 days preceding mortality were found. The influence of chronic exposure was shown to be greater for respiratory than circulatory system-related mortality. When stratified by age and gender, higher risk was noted for male individuals below the age of 65. article 10.1080/15287394.2015.1101407 79 1 17 27 1528-7394 Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health.
