[Study on relationship between ambient PM10, PM2.5 pollution and daily mortality in a district in Shanghai].
OBJECTIVE
Explore the adverse impact of ambient particulate matter pollution on human health.


METHODS
Generalized additive model (GAM) extended poisson regression was used to examined the exposure--response relationship between ambient PM10, PM2.5 pollution and daily mortality in a district in Shanghai. Regression analyses was used for analysis with adjustment for controlling time trends, weather, season, the day of the week.


RESULTS
A 10 micrograms/m3 increase in PM10, and PM2.5 were associated with 0.53% (0.22%-0.85%), 0.85% (0.32%-1.39%) increase in total daily mortality respectively.


CONCLUSIONS
Ambient particulate pollution has potential acute adverse health effects on human.
