Özet

Objectives: Some recent studies have shown that increased levels of particulate air pollutants are positively associated with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, asthma, stroke and deep vein thrombosis. We aim to determine the association between levels of ambient particulate air pollutants and Emergency Department (ED) visits for ishemic stroke, cardiovascular and pulmonary disease in winter months.
